Team USA collected 24 medals overall, its most since winning 25 in Turin 2006. That total included eight gold medals from the likes of Chen and snowboarder Chloe Kim along with nine silvers and seven bronzes.

Alpine ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin entered the Games with sky-high expectations like Chen and Kim. But unlike that pair, the 26-year-old failed to medal in all five of her individual events and was disqualified from three of them. It was a shocking career tumble for an athlete who's earned gold medals in each of the last two Olympics.

Team USA's women's hockey team, the defending Olympic champions, earned silver in Beijing after falling to Canada in the gold-medal game. It was the latest chapter in a rivalry Olympics followers have come to know well, as the U.S. and Canada have met in six of the seven women's hockey finals since the sport was introduced in Nagano 1998.

In curling, the U.S. men's team not only failed to defend its gold medal but also missed the podium for the third time in the last four Games.

Still, Team USA gave fans plenty to celebrate over the past two weeks. Here are each of Team' USA's medalists and some of the best moments from the Beijing Games. These Olympics have been somewhat of a redemption tour for Nathan Chen. The ultra-talented figure skater was expected to medal at the 2018 Games, but uncharacteristic mistakes made him tumble to fifth place in PyeongChang's men's singles event. Chen made no such mistakes this time around. Chen led the U.S. to silver in Beijing's team event and earned his first career gold medal in the men's singles competition. In the short program, Chen put on a dazzling show fans won't forget any time soon.

Erin Jackson's win in the women's 500m speed skating event brought her first Olympic hardware, but its significance stretched far beyond that. The win made Jackson the first Black speed skater to claim an individual gold medal for Team USA. Jackson sped past Japan's Takagi Miho (37.12) and Russia's Angelina Golikova (37.21) for a time of 37.04 in the historic win. If it weren't for teammate and longtime friend Brittany Bowe, however, Jackson wouldn't have even been in the race. Jackson fell during January's U.S. Olympic trials and placed third, and only the top-two finishers automatically qualified for Beijing. Bowe, who finished first, relinquished her spot to Jackson. The story ended positively for both, though, as Bowe claimed bronze in the women's 1000m race.

In PyeongChang 2018, then 17-year-old Chloe Kim flashed superstar potential after becoming the youngest woman ever to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal. The 21-year-old confirmed her superstar status in Beijing. Kim earned a second consecutive win in the women's halfpipe event, making her the only woman snowboarder to win two golds in the halfpipe. Kim's sensational first run in the halfpipe final earned her a top score of 94, 3.75 points better than the second-place finisher, Spain's Queralt Castellet. With the legendary Shaun White retiring after these Games, Kim looks to be a worthy successor to his snowboarding throne.

Shaun White has competed in five Olympics and won three gold medals over his storied career, but those accomplishments don't begin to encapsulate just how significant he is to the snowboarding world and beyond. The 35-year-old launched his own video-game franchise, has appeared in multiple feature films and is even starting his own clothing line. In Beijing, White demonstrated how he became the sport's biggest icon one last time, as he's retiring after these Games. White (85.00), who at 35 is seven years older than the next oldest men's halfpipe competitor, finished only 2.25 points behind the third-place finisher, Scotty James (87.25) of Australia. It was a marvelous final Olympics for White, who cried after the competition and got a well-deserved ovation from his fellow snowboarders.
