The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIX Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event held in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, from February 8 to 24, 2002. A total of 2,399 athletes from 77 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) (+5 from 1998 Olympics) participated in these Games, competing in 78 events (+10 from 1998) in 15 sports and disciplines (+1 from 1998).[1]
Athletes from 24 countries won at least one medal. Germany led in overall medals (36) for the second consecutive Winter Games.[2] Immediately following the Games, Germany was also the gold medal leader with twelve. With 36 total medals, Germany set a record for most total medals at a single Winter Olympics edition. Two years later, however, Norway was awarded two extra gold medals for a single event (where two Norwegians tied) after medal re-allocations, raising their total to thirteen and giving them the lead in gold medals (albeit not in the number of won events).[3] In addition, Norway tied the former Soviet Union in 1976 for most gold medals at a single Winter Olympics.[4] This record would later be broken by Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics.[4] The hosting United States was third in the medal table on both counts with a total of 34 medals.
Croatia and Estonia won the first medals and first gold medals in their Winter Olympic history,[5][6] while Australia and China won their first gold medals.[7][8] Biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen of Norway won four gold medals, while Croatian alpine skier Janica Kostelić won three golds and a silver, making them the two athletes with the most medals at the Games.[9]
