Team USA's gold medalists in pictures
The United States won nine gold medals at PyeongChang 2018. Here's a look back at the American Olympic champions, both in the heat of competition and reveling in their incredible achievements.
Snowboard - Men's slopestyle
Red Gerard got the party started for the U.S., claiming the gold medal in slopestyle snowboarding in one of the first medal events of PyeongChang 2018. The 17-year-old battled winds to score 87.16 on his third and final run.
Snowboard - Women's slopestyle
Jamie Anderson defended her 2014 slopestyle snowboarding gold medal by crushing the field at PyeongChang 2018. The three-time medalist dropped an 83.00-point score on her first of two runs. Canada's Laurie Blouin was her closest competition with a score of 76.33.
Snowboard - Women's halfpipe
Following in Anderson's footsteps, 17-year-old Chloe Kim blew away the competition with a ludicrous 98.25 on her final run - nearly 10 points ahead of the silver medalist. The future of U.S. snowboarding is bright indeed.
Snowboard - Men's halfpipe
After his fourth-place finish in Sochi, it wasn't clear if 31-year-old Shaun White could hold onto his mantle as the face of halfpipe snowboarding. He did so in spades, clinching gold and becoming the oldest athlete ever to medal in men's halfpipe. The previous record-holder was only 25.
Alpine skiing - Women's giant slalom
Mikaela Shiffrin was considered by some to be a threat to sweep all five of her alpine events. While she only won gold in giant slalom, silver in alpine combined, and fourth place in slalom, she's still an Olympic champ - and a worthy successor to Lindsey Vonn's throne.
Cross-country skiing - Women's team sprint
Jessie Diggins was the States' best chance to win its first medal in women's cross-country skiing - and first cross-country skiing medal overall since 1976. While she was blanked in her individual events, Diggins and five-time Olympian Kikkan Randall finally broke through in the team sprint, not only medaling but winning gold.
Women's ice hockey
The U.S.-Canada gold medal game in women's hockey is practically preordained, but the States hadn't won gold since 1998 in Nagano. It took overtime and a penalty shootout, but the U.S. women finally broke through, with Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson punching the ticket with her now-famous "Oops!... I Did It Again" goal.
Freestyle skiing - Men's halfpipe
David Wise went back to back, adding a gold medal in halfpipe skiing to the gold he won in Sochi. After putting up scores of 17.00 and 6.40 in his first two runs, Wise dropped 97.20 on his final go.
Men's curling
John Shuster, who skipped the U.S. to 10th and ninth-place finishes at Vancouver and Sochi, completely redeemed himself, leading his rink to the States' first-ever gold medal in curling.
