Netherlands keeps stacking short track gold as Velzeboer wins the 1,000m
The Netherlands’ Day 10 headline came in short track, where Xandra Velzeboer won women’s 1,000m gold — her second gold of these Olympics. Canada’s Courtney Sarault took silver and South Korea’s Kim Gil-li earned bronze.
From a medal-count standpoint, this is the exact kind of result that changes the “Top 10” feel fast: one gold can push a nation up the gold board even if it isn’t piling up a huge overall total yet.
Switzerland’s Meillard delivers slalom gold — and real table value
In alpine, Loïc Meillard won men’s slalom gold in Bormio, while Norway’s Atle Lie McGrath skied out on the final run after leading the first leg. Austria’s Fabio Gstrein took silver and Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen earned bronze.
This matters for the standings because Switzerland’s medal profile is built on high-value alpine golds — and this one boosts Switzerland’s gold count in a crowded chase pack behind Norway and Italy.
Why Norway is still the simplest story: it leads in gold and total
A lot of readers search medal counts assuming “most medals” and “most golds” are the same thing — right now, Norway is winning both. Norway’s 12 gold is the biggest separator in a gold-first view, and its 27 total medals keeps it comfortable even if other countries have “big days.”
