Inspired by the five medals of cross-country star Marit Bjørgen and the Downhill victory of 35-year-old Aksel Lund Svindal, the Norwegian team finished top of the PyeongChang medals table with 39 - 14 gold, 14 silver and 11 bronze - eight ahead of Germany. It surpassed the former record of 37 held since 2010 by the USA whose population is 60 times that of the 5.3 million in Norway.
