What country has most Olympic medals in figure skating? Full standings
Since figure skating debuted as an Olympic sport at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, believe it or not, one country has dominated the medal count.
It has historically been the most-watched event at the Winter Olympics, and its athletes have become household names.
The figure skating Olympic program now consists of five events: men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, ice dance, and the team competition, which debuted in 2014 in Sochi, Russia, where athletes in the four disciplines compete as a team. There are six skaters per team, one each from the women's and men's singles, one pair skating team, and one ice dance couple.
The United States is the most decorated nation in figure skating, largely due to its technical skill with the introduction of the double axel and triple loop in the singles competition. The ice dance pair of Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue from Canada have the most Winter Olympic medals in history with five (three gold, two silver).
