Russia won the highest number of gold medals (11), and host country Norway earned the highest total number of medals (26) as well as the highest number of silver medals (11). Germany and Italy tied for the highest number of bronze medals (8).[3] Seven nations won their first Winter Olympic Medals: Australia, Belarus, Kazahkstan, Russia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Four of these, Kazahkstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, won their first Winter Olympic Gold Medals. The four first time gold medalist nations and Belarus were all competing in their first Olympic Games as independent National Olympic Committees following the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Medal table

This is the full table of the medal count of the 1994 Winter Olympics, based on the medal count of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[3] These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC.
