Hannah Kearney's gold medal continued the longest streak at the Winter Olympics. No, I do not mean the streak of Canada never winning a gold when hosting a Games, rather the streak of the USA being the only country to win a gold medal at every Winter Olympic Games.
Norway was close, but they were shutout in Calgary. The 60's were dicey for the Americans, just one gold medal each in 1964 and 1968.
The USA doesn't even have such a streak at the Summer Olympics, the 1980 boycott saw to that.
