The Colorado Winter Olympics!

Great to see so many athletes with Colorado ties winning medals for the USA and other nations. Just last night, the US Women's team won gold. The goalie went to Green Mountain High School and lives in Lakewood.

Colorado Wins More 2018 Winter Olympics Medals Than 78 Countries

In the first few days after the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, we shared a post headlined "Colorado's Won More 2018 Winter Olympic Medals Than 81 Countries" to celebrate the achievements of the state's first two medalists, snowboarders Red Gerard and Arielle Gold. In the days that followed, plenty of other athletes from these parts competed in various disciplines, and while critics expressed disappointment with the performance of the U.S. Olympic team overall, Coloradans still managed to collect ten medals, more than 78 of the nations that took part.

Coloradans will be bringing home medals in eight individual events: two for skier Mikaela Shiffrin and one apiece for Gerard, Gold, freestyle skier Alex Ferreira, alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, Big Air specialist Kyle Mack and figure skater Mirai Nagasu.

In addition, two Coloradans earned medals in multi-member events: Lauren Gibbs was part of the silver-medal-winning two-person women's bobsled duo and goalie Nicole Hensley was on the gold-medal-winning women's hockey squad.
