As the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games get into full swing, all eyes are on the Olympics medal count. Germany currently sits atop the leader board with three golds, while Norway leads the total medal tally with eight, buoyed by the Men’s Cross-Country Skiing events on Sunday. The Netherlands climbed into contention with five medals in speed skating, and Lim Hyojun brought home the first medal, a gold, for hosts South Korea in the Short Track Speed Skating on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Team USA places fifth with three medals, including Redmond Gerard’s snowboarding Slopestyle gold and Chris Mazdzer’s Men’s Olympic Luge medal — a first in U.S. history.
