I can't sign off without celebrating New Zealand's first Winter Olympics medals since 1992 (which at the time was the first by anyone from the Southern Hemisphere.) Congratulations to Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and Nico Porteous! https://t.co/XVoaQXn3pY

See you all in Tokyo in 2020!

Well, it's a wrap! Liechtenstein's medal put it unassailably at the top of the roster, but Norway's incredible total put it first in golds per capita – and first even when you factor in its high latitude! https://t.co/5C8ey4BLwj

LIECHTENSTEIN!!! For the first time since Calgary in 1988, Liechtenstein, a country just a little larger than the island of Manhattan (per @danvdk's excellent site https://t.co/DmrkqXr5i1) won an Olympic medal! They're now unbeatable in medals per capita, per km², by GDP...

New this year: all the Winter Olympics results, starting with 1924 in Chamonix. In the all-time winter tally, Norway does very well (as expected,) but Liechtenstein, with its tiny population and alpine geography, is hard to beat! https://t.co/MSH3ZYu541

Finland gains third place in medals per capita, with medals in cross-country skiing and snowboarding. But the Netherlands are first in a new category – medals per square kilometer. Go (geographically) small countries! https://t.co/ev3lmHEqLh
