Players are getting even more dedicated and competitive as the Winter Olympics is coming to a close. It is set to conclude on February 20, 2022. As of yesterday, Norway leads the race with a total of 21 medals, including 9 gold, 5 silver and 7 bronze. 

It is shortly followed by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) with 18 medals, including 4 gold, 6 silver and 8 bronze. It is to be noted that the players are competing on the behalf of the committee and not the country itself. 

The USA finally secured its spot in third place with 15 medals, with a remarkable number of 6 gold, 5 silver and one bronze. 

The top 3 are followed by Canada, which is neck-to-neck with the USA with 15 medals (one gold, 4 silver and 10 bronze). The fifth spot is secured by Germany with a total of 14 medals, having the second-highest number of gold (8 medals) after Norway. 

With just a week to go for the games to conclude, players are preparing to be at their finest to make their country proud.
