Norway is pretty amazing.

[vcsgrizzfan]

Population 5.3 million people and leading the world in medals at the winter Olympics.

[gaskill15]

They absolutely dominate cross country skiing.

Don't know where they get their medals. Its got to be pretty spread out though to have enough medals to lead the entire world at this point.

New Zealand is a bit like that in the summer Olympics. A nation with a population under 5 million that produces a ton of great athletes.

[AlaskaHawks]

It's not really fair. They have Elsa helping them train/prepare.

And alpine this year seem to be racking up,

[somberbostonian]

Norway is pretty mediocre at hockey and soccer compared to the other Nordic countries, so I imagine skiing has to be the #1 obsession for them to get the most out of that 5.3 million. Good thing military strength isn't determined by which country is the best at shooting on skis, or everyone else would be fucked.

The Olympics will have to add a few more Winter X games/snowboarding events for the US to hop up that medal count.

Hey Somber! We all figured you were gone for good. You just missed out on our All Time Fantasy draft, which is too bad.

Nah, got a new job late last year so I've been busy with a lot of Olympics-related stuff that's been screwing up my sleep schedule since it's in Korea this year lol. I definitely gotta check out thread to see what it's about.

I never heard she had winter sports skills...

[Lamelo_Ball]

what does CAN stand for.. anyone here know?

CAN't be the USA... that's for sure

[dwcmwa]

It's not all the surprising when you dig into the details.

Locations with colder climates are going to do better at winter sports, because they are readily more available and are open to more people.

Norway came away with a mere 4 medals in total, during the 2016 Summer Olympics (4 Bronze).

The Men's halfpipe was by far the best Olympic event IMO

[Odogg]

The skiing half pipe is also pretty great. Final tonight or tomorrow.
