Team USA Medalists - Vancouver

USA hauls in 37 medals in a winter to remember

Bode Miller hooked a gate and skied off course in his last race of the 2010 Winter Games, Saturday's slalom.

"It doesn't always go your way," said the U.S. skier, who turned a 180 on his 2006 Olympic experience by winning three medals and hearts and minds here. "But overall this Olympics was amazing how many things went my way."

The same could be said for the U.S. team. Not everything went the USA's way — the women's figure skaters, for example, came away medal-less for the first time since the 1964 Games.

But an amazing amount of things did go well for the U.S. team, from Miller's rehabilitative performance to Nordic combined's emphatic breakthrough to snowboard halfpipe near-sweeps to Evan Lysacek's figure skating gold and Steven Holcomb's victorious drive in four-man bobsled.

All of those things added up to the best Winter Olympic performance by a nation in history. Team USA's 37 medals topped the 36 won by Germany in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, the previous high.

...Although U.S. athletes have led the medal count in the last four Summer Olympics, this is the first time the USA is the Winter Games' winningest team since the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid.

Congratulations, Team USA!
