While the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics begin on Friday, the events actually got underway on Wednesday.
The target number of medals for a country to win the overall medal table is 35. Norway captured 37 medals to top the 2022 Winter Olympics medal table. That was 10 more than Germany in second place and 12 more than Team USA in third.
The Americans have the team of Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse looking to capture the country’s first medal in the event. Thiesse is also playing on the women’s team, and will try and use her status as a launching pad in the mixed doubles.
