The United States reached a milestone of nine gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics as the competition entered its final three days.
U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) Chief Executive Officer Sarah Hirshland, speaking with Nexstar's Jack Doles, credited the achievement to years of preparation and what she considers most robust sports system in the world.
The USOPC provides resources and tools to athletes to prepare them for the high pressure of the Olympic stage. Hirshland described the success of athletes as the “ultimate reward” for the organization’s staff.
The Olympic committee CEO, however, warned that the nation’s leadership in sports cannot be taken for granted. One significant challenge facing the pipeline of future talent for Team USA, she noted, could be a drop in support for Olympic and women’s sports on college campuses. Hirshland advocated for federal intervention to standardize collegiate athletics and promote opportunities for all athletes.
Hirshland said the ultimate goal the organization's work is to inspire the next generation of competitors.
“There’s tens of thousands of young people out there who watch that and got motivated by it,” Hirshland said. “And that’s, at the end of the day, 20 years from now, you want the story from someone who says, I was a little girl and I watched that and I decided I wanted to do that.”
