Congratulations to Norway for easily topping the medals table again at Milan – Cortina 2026.
All the other countries should be thankful that Norway concentrates on sports in just a few areas such as cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping. They don’t do skeleton or bobsleigh because they cost too much money.
Norway puts less emphasis on competition and specialisation in their youth sports and more importance on enjoyment and fun. Not all athletes achieve their potential at the same age and Norway doesn’t want potential world beaters to be put off at an early age because those individuals aren’t enjoying their sport.
