Team USA's Women Own More Medals Than Men at Winter Olympics The American women have tallied 12 of the 21 medals that the U.S. has won in the Winter Olympics. When it comes to gold specifically, women have scored five of the eight gold medals won by the U.S. These numbers don't include two medals won by duos and teams of men and women.
