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). In addition, Norway tied the former Soviet Union in 1976 for most gold medals at a single Winter Olympics. This record would later be broken by Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics.https://www.cbc.ca/sports/2.722/canada-sets-olympic-gold-record-1.971872 Canada sets Olympic gold record February 27, 2010 February 27, 2010 Canadian Press CBC Sports March 3, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100303045603/http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/story/2010/02/27/sp-canada-gold-otp.html?ref=rss live The hosting United States was third in the medal table on both counts with a total of 34 medals.
