LoginThe Metro: Team USA women shine as Americans bring home 33 medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics
It was medals galore for the U.S. winter Olympic teams. American athletes across many sports brought home 33 medals, which is the second-highest total of any country. Women secured 21 of those medals.
These athletes dedicate their lives to perfecting their craft for a shot at securing a medal.
We reflect on the 2026 Winter Olympics while we look toward Women’s History Month and highlight the hard work and dedication these women athletes displayed in Italy these last couple of weeks.
Ketra Armstrong, a professor of sport management at the University of Michigan, joined the show to reflect on the accomplishments of the women on Team USA.
