The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, were an international winter multi-sport event held in Pyeongchang County (stylized as PyeongChang for the games), South Korea, from 9 to 25 February, with preliminary events in some sports beginning on 8 February. A total of 2,833 athletes representing 92 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated. The games featured 102 events in 15 sports, making it the first Winter Olympics to surpass 100 medal events. Four new disciplines in existing sports were introduced to the Winter Olympic Games program in Pyeongchang: big air snowboarding, mixed doubles curling, mass start speed skating, and mixed team alpine skiing.

Athletes representing 30 NOCs received at least one medal, the highest for any Winter Olympic Games thus far, with 22 NOCs winning at least one gold medal. Athletes from Norway won the most medals overall, with 39, surpassing the previous record of 37 medals set by the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Athletes from Germany and Norway tied for the most gold medals with 14 each, equaling the record set by Canada in 2010 for most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics. Hungary won its first Winter Olympic gold medal ever, doing so in the men's 5,000 meter short-track speed skating relay.

Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won the most medals at the games with five (two gold, one silver, and two bronze). With 15 total Olympic medals, she also became the most decorated athlete in Winter Olympics history.
