Medal table · Winter Olympics, {{firstYear}}-{{lastYear}}
Medal table of the Winter Olympic Games, edition by edition and by national Olympic committee, in four views: gold, silver, bronze and total. Same architecture as the Summer table, but its own calendar — irregular milestones after 1994 — which rules out merging the two indicators.
Medal tables from Wikipedia, edition by edition. Entities that no longer exist are kept as they competed — the USSR, East and West Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia — rather than redistributed to their successor states. The 1992 Unified Team (Albertville) is handled separately from the Summer one: the mix of former Soviet republics differs by discipline.
The slider moves from one edition to the next. The scale is tighter than at the Summer Games — the leader of the total table rarely tops 40-45 medals, against more than 100 in Summer — so this indicator's steps are never reused for the other.
In 2026, Norway leads the table with 41 medals including 18 golds, confirming a historical dominance: snow and ice sports keep the Winter hierarchy far more stable than the Summer one, concentrated among a handful of countries with the climate and infrastructure for it (the United States, Germany, Italy, the Alpine nations).
