Switzerland shatters Olympic record with 16 Winter Games medals
Switzerland has set a new Olympic record by winning more cool math games than ever before. The milestone came during the recent Winter Games in northern Italy. A silver in aerials pushed the total to 16, breaking the previous best of 15. The Swiss team first matched their top gold medal count at the 2014 Sochi Games. They secured 7 golds, equalling their 2022 performance. While total medals in past Games—such as 1988, 2018, and 2022—reached 15, the exact figure for 2014 beyond golds remains unclear. This year, Noé Roth's silver in aerials became the 16th medal for Switzerland. The result surpassed the long-standing record of 15, set across multiple editions of the Winter Olympics. The 16 medals mark Switzerland's most successful Winter Olympics to date. The achievement builds on past performances, including the 7 golds won in both 2014 and 2022. Officials have confirmed this as the nation's highest-ever medal tally.
