The Beijing Winter Olympics ushered in the final competition day, the just-concluded cross-country skiing women's 30 km collective departure, Norway's Therese Joheyug won the championship with an absolute advantage, which was her third individual gold medal. After that, the Norwegian team won 15 gold, 8 silver and 13 bronze, won the first place in the gold medal table and medal table for two consecutive years, and also helped the host China team to beat the United States team and finally ranked 3rd in the gold medal list.
Previously, the Norwegian team won 14 gold, 8 silver and 12 bronze, basically locking the first place in the gold medal table and medal table, and the German team behind it had no hope of overtaking, as well as the Chinese team, the United States team, the Netherlands team, and the Swedish team.
On the last match day, Norway had 2 gold points, and the alpine skiing mixed team that ended earlier, Norway finally finished third, winning a bronze medal. Another gold medal was the cross-country skiing women's 30 km collective departure, with Theresie Johaiug leading by more than one point, first through the finish line, helping Norway to win the 15th gold medal.
Norway created a new history in the Winter Olympics, becoming the first sports delegation to win 15 gold medals in a single session, and also the first place in the gold medal table and medal table for two consecutive Winter Olympic Games.
Norway, with a population of only 5.38 million, is one of the traditional powers of the Winter Olympics, winning 14 gold medals, 14 silver medals and 11 bronze medals in the last edition, pushing the German team to rank first in the number of gold medals and medals, and now comes to the Beijing Winter Olympics to complete the defense of the title.
While congratulating the Norwegian team, we also want to thank the first team in the Winter Olympics, because Norway's victory in cross-country skiing made the American team miss the 9th gold medal, thus not being able to surpass the Chinese team.
The number of silver medals and bronze medals of the American team are more than the Chinese team, as long as the last match day to get the gold medal, you can surpass the Chinese team to return to the third, and now the reverse has failed, the Chinese team's final report card is set at 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, ranking in the top three of the gold medal list for the first time in 42 years.
