The United States dominated the snowboard events at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea with gold medals in the halfpipe for the men (Shaun White) and women (Chloe Kim). The U.S. pulled a similar double in the slopestyle event when Red Gerard and Jamie Anderson took home gold. White's gold was the third of his Olympic career and the 100th in the Winter Olympics overall for the U.S., second all time behind Norway's 118 entering the 2018 Games.
Norway and Germany were the favorites to land atop the Olympic medal table at the start of the Games. Nielsen subsidiary Gracenote projected the Scandinavian country of 5.2 million people to win a record 41 medals, two more than Germany. The total would be four more than Team USA, which set the Winter mark at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver (Gracenote projects the U.S. in third with 29 medals).
Through 30 events, Germany sits atop the medal standings with 12, including six golds. Norway and the Netherlands are tied for second at 11. But the hardware is still to be determined at more than 70 events.
