| Boilerpipe Text | BEIJING – The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 came to a close on Sunday after 17 days of competition, featuring 2,900 athletes from 91 nations. The 225 Team USA athletes delivered breakout performances and collectively earned 25 total medals (8 gold, 10 silver, 7 bronze).
The U.S. finished fourth on the medal table – besting its 2018 total medal count. Fifty-seven American athletes contributed to the medal total in Beijing with 34 athletes making it to the podium for the first time. In addition to medal accomplishments, Team USA showcased resilience and sportsmanship on the field of play throughout the Games.
"From excitement to disappointment to inspiration; the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games presented Team USA with a rollercoaster of emotion," said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland. "Through it all, our athletes showed up strong, tackled incredible obstacles and delivered world-class performances. I'm filled with tremendous gratitude and pride as we turn our full attention to the Paralympic Games.”
The women of Team USA continued their successful Games streak, winning 13 (4 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze) of the 25 total medals.
Julia Marino
earned Team USA’s first medal in Beijing, winning the silver in snowboard slopestyle on Feb. 6, and Jessie Diggins closed out the medal count for Team USA earlier today by winning silver in the
cross-country skiing
women’s 30-kilometer mass start free – and becoming the first American woman to medal in an Olympic long-distance cross-country race.
History was made when speedskater
Erin Jackson
won in the women’s 500-meter and became the first Black woman ever to win a gold medal in an individual event in the Winter Games. “Hopefully it has an effect,” said Jackson when asked about her ground-breaking accomplishment. “I would love to see more minorities, especially in the U.S., getting out and trying winter sports and see me as an example of what’s possible.”
Bobsledder and trailblazer
Elana Meyers Taylor
raced to silver and bronze in women’s monobob and the two-woman event to become the most decorated Black athlete at a Winter Games with a combined five medals. She was also elected the Opening and Closing Ceremony flagbearer, an honor only bestowed once before on a member of Team USA.
From these Games’ historic firsts to the culmination of one of snowboard’s most iconic figures, five-time Olympian
Shaun White
finished fourth in his last competitive snowboard halfpipe contest, capping off a remarkable career that includes three gold medals (2006, 2010, 2018) and never finishing lower than fourth place.
Further proving that age is just a number,
Nick Baumgartner
is the oldest snowboarder to win a medal at an Olympic Winter Games (40 years, 57 days) with a win in the mixed team snowboardcross event. His teammate, Lindsey Jacobellis (36 years, 177 days) became the oldest woman and second oldest Olympic snowboard medalist with wins in the mixed team and women’s snowboardcross events.
“Watching Team USA athletes step onto the ice and snow at the Olympic Games after years of training and dedication to their sport, and in an unprecedented environment, was absolutely awe-inspiring,” said Rick Adams, USOPC chief of sport performance and 2022 Chef de Mission. “Team USA athletes represented themselves, their sport, their community, and our country with skill and pride. Serving as the Chef de Mission for this team has been a great honor for me and, in addition to the wonderful athletes, I am thankful to the national governing bodies, and the USOPC staff for making these 2022 Games a great success.”
Beyond performance, the Beijing Games featured an additional statistic with COVID-19 test results. The implementation of strong COVID-19 countermeasures, thorough pre-departure testing and daily testing in Beijing, the health of Team USA remained central to the success of the Games. Since the first Team USA delegates arrived in Beijing on Jan. 15, there were approximately 19,000 COVID-19 tests performed. Throughout the course of the Games, only three Team USA athletes tested positive for COVID-19, an impressive feat amidst a worldwide surge in the pandemic.
"We are so proud of what Team USA has accomplished, on and off the field of play," said Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, USOPC chief medical officer. "Coming into these Games, we had a significant hill to climb as we faced a dramatic rise in COVID-19 infections. The preparation and execution of COVID-19 mitigation practices, along with the commitment by the organizing committee to execute a true closed loop environment, contributed to the health and safety of our athletes."

| Readable Markdown | BEIJING – The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 came to a close on Sunday after 17 days of competition, featuring 2,900 athletes from 91 nations. The 225 Team USA athletes delivered breakout performances and collectively earned 25 total medals (8 gold, 10 silver, 7 bronze).
The U.S. finished fourth on the medal table – besting its 2018 total medal count. Fifty-seven American athletes contributed to the medal total in Beijing with 34 athletes making it to the podium for the first time. In addition to medal accomplishments, Team USA showcased resilience and sportsmanship on the field of play throughout the Games.
"From excitement to disappointment to inspiration; the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games presented Team USA with a rollercoaster of emotion," said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland. "Through it all, our athletes showed up strong, tackled incredible obstacles and delivered world-class performances. I'm filled with tremendous gratitude and pride as we turn our full attention to the Paralympic Games.”
The women of Team USA continued their successful Games streak, winning 13 (4 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze) of the 25 total medals. [Julia Marino](https://www.teamusa.com/profiles/julia-marino) earned Team USA’s first medal in Beijing, winning the silver in snowboard slopestyle on Feb. 6, and Jessie Diggins closed out the medal count for Team USA earlier today by winning silver in the [cross-country skiing](https://usskiandsnowboard.org/) women’s 30-kilometer mass start free – and becoming the first American woman to medal in an Olympic long-distance cross-country race.
History was made when speedskater [Erin Jackson](https://www.teamusa.com/profiles/erin-jackson) won in the women’s 500-meter and became the first Black woman ever to win a gold medal in an individual event in the Winter Games. “Hopefully it has an effect,” said Jackson when asked about her ground-breaking accomplishment. “I would love to see more minorities, especially in the U.S., getting out and trying winter sports and see me as an example of what’s possible.”
Bobsledder and trailblazer [Elana Meyers Taylor](https://www.teamusa.com/profiles/elana-meyers-taylor) raced to silver and bronze in women’s monobob and the two-woman event to become the most decorated Black athlete at a Winter Games with a combined five medals. She was also elected the Opening and Closing Ceremony flagbearer, an honor only bestowed once before on a member of Team USA.
From these Games’ historic firsts to the culmination of one of snowboard’s most iconic figures, five-time Olympian [Shaun White](https://www.teamusa.com/profiles/shaun-white) finished fourth in his last competitive snowboard halfpipe contest, capping off a remarkable career that includes three gold medals (2006, 2010, 2018) and never finishing lower than fourth place.
Further proving that age is just a number, [Nick Baumgartner](https://www.teamusa.com/profiles/nick-baumgartner-822297) is the oldest snowboarder to win a medal at an Olympic Winter Games (40 years, 57 days) with a win in the mixed team snowboardcross event. His teammate, Lindsey Jacobellis (36 years, 177 days) became the oldest woman and second oldest Olympic snowboard medalist with wins in the mixed team and women’s snowboardcross events.
“Watching Team USA athletes step onto the ice and snow at the Olympic Games after years of training and dedication to their sport, and in an unprecedented environment, was absolutely awe-inspiring,” said Rick Adams, USOPC chief of sport performance and 2022 Chef de Mission. “Team USA athletes represented themselves, their sport, their community, and our country with skill and pride. Serving as the Chef de Mission for this team has been a great honor for me and, in addition to the wonderful athletes, I am thankful to the national governing bodies, and the USOPC staff for making these 2022 Games a great success.”
Beyond performance, the Beijing Games featured an additional statistic with COVID-19 test results. The implementation of strong COVID-19 countermeasures, thorough pre-departure testing and daily testing in Beijing, the health of Team USA remained central to the success of the Games. Since the first Team USA delegates arrived in Beijing on Jan. 15, there were approximately 19,000 COVID-19 tests performed. Throughout the course of the Games, only three Team USA athletes tested positive for COVID-19, an impressive feat amidst a worldwide surge in the pandemic.
"We are so proud of what Team USA has accomplished, on and off the field of play," said Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, USOPC chief medical officer. "Coming into these Games, we had a significant hill to climb as we faced a dramatic rise in COVID-19 infections. The preparation and execution of COVID-19 mitigation practices, along with the commitment by the organizing committee to execute a true closed loop environment, contributed to the health and safety of our athletes."
