The USA men just swept the medals in the freestyle slopestyle. This is the 3^rd USA medal sweep at the Olympic Winter Games, after 2002 men’s snowboard halfpipe and 1956 men’s figure skating. It is the 42^nd medal sweep overall in Winter Olympic history.

This is the 3^rd medal sweep at Sochi after the speed skating men’s 500 and 5,000, both done by the Netherlands. This is equal to the most ever medal sweeps for men at a Winter Olympics, with this only occurring before at St. Moritz in 1928, with the men’s cross-country 15 km (NOR), men’s cross-country 50 km (SWE), and men’s Nordic combined (NOR). The record overall is 5 at Innsbruck in 1964. The last time there were 3 medal sweeps at a WOG was in 1998 in Nagano.

Here are all the previous medal sweeps at the Winter Olympic Games:
