Why is this country so damn good at sports, despite having a population of barely 5 million people. They are literally topping the olympics medal table for crying out loud.

What is the rest of the world doing wrong, that Norway is doing right?

How can countries with nondiverse climates even compete?

World class doping program

Asthma

like clockwork

Hes right tho

Norway are garbage in hockey and Summer Olympics.

summer olympics are for poor people from shithole countries.

They are not very diverse, thats a problem for genetics, i read on huffpost and vox

>unironically doing worse than GB
LMAO SIT DOWN, BE HUMBLE

I agree, Norway needs more diversity. They should let in a million niggers like Sweden.

Money.

>t. Norwegian grocery shopping in Strömstad

>US does well in both
weedskiing arent olympic sports buddy

>5 millions

seems like a country who needs immigrant right the fuck now

Fuck off we're full.

You people probably don't even ski to work.

Pls send cute girls with italian heritage.

Government-funded doping program.

>Meme Olympics
who gives a shit, they bagged an impressive ZERO golds, ZERO silver and FOUR bronze medals at the last real olympics. Even we had a better record than that.

>getting rekt by Australia at the WINTER olympics

Just shut up, Pekka-Kari

If the table was for the men's only then bongs would have won

just dropping in to confirm that the winter olympics is a meme

And if amerimutts didn't statpad with swimming imagine what it would look like

>ice cream games
who cares?

winter olympics, aka 'wypipo going downhill in different ways' the tournament

They are good at skiing because that's a primary mode of transportation there, it is the same with why the Dutch are good at speed skating

norway is the greatest country on earth desu, they won the lottery and accidentally put their country on top of oil

Exactly the same

Breddeidrett
Ski high schools all over the country, normal education + skiing
Athletic talents prioritizes skiing
Genetics
Relatively large pool of skiing talents

norway likes winter sports

They're good at winter sports and that's about it. You'd hope that they are good at winter sports because the country is covered in snow. All other Nordic countries are far more impressive in other sports.

>best football player ever was United's magic sub
>good at sports

Dude. We're only relevant for two weeks every four years. This is our thing. Our only thing.

At least we’re still leading, not for long though.

they really, really like skiing

>winter olympics

?

unironically this

Yeah right. "Good"

>American education
Our oil is in the sea
Our birth rates are considerably higher than the rest of the developed world, 1,7-1,8
We "barely" use our oil money, look up oljefondet
>American education

Katie Couric said in the opening ceremonies that the reason the Dutch are good at speed skating is that the canals in Amsterdam freeze over and people skate to work and stuff. Then she got destroyed in Twitter

>51/102 Winter Olympic events (literally half of them) are skiing
Norwegians are one-trick ponies. It's like how the Americans statpad in swimming, except they're actually good at a few other sports too.

>Countries not winning any medals complaining

you have to go back, yusuf

>zero medals

Lichenstein got a medal, nobody can beat them at per capita statistics

Norway = Skibabbys
you can't win in anything but skiing
you hockey team is a joke

One trick pony

Do you even have snow?

How to fix medal tables:
Sum up all the medals from all disciplines within the same sport, and award one gold, one silver and one bronze. This will stop swimming and skiing from ruining the medal tables.

...

And you can only win sports where you buy the judges, as if that is any better.

Norway is probably among the most diverse sports nations, especially considering our population number.

They kick ass at snowsports, they've been great to watch this Olympics gotta hand it to them the team they put together was very impressive

Great, so you're shit. Good to know. To be fair, this semen slurping olympics don't even interest us Finns.

>Norway is probably among the most diverse sports nations
Is this bait? Norway are incredibly good at skiing, no-one can take that away from them. But aside from that there aren't any other sports they excel in.

>every single medal is in skiing
>diverse

yeah OK Lars.

Still angry about that curling match butch?

non-skiing countries will never have god tier athletes like mika myllylä

youtube.com/watch?v=MteuwvTBQOw

curling = watching grass grow

I am talking about this olympics
But also at summer olympics we are doing decent per capita.

Alpine, Biathlon/Cross country, half-pipe (I guess you didn't manage to buy the judges this time), Curling?, Ski Jumping, Speed skating

All very different sports. Kys butthurt subhuman

>the hovel of china

Kek, no. Australia would take that title by a considerable margin. On top of having 4 (four) major different football leagues (rugby league, rugby union, aussie rules and soccer, not to mention are good at all of these internationally*), we are also the best cricketing nation of all time, have a lot of Formula 1 racers including 2 championship racers, have motoGP racers, have athletes in the NBA, NFL (even of they're just punters), MLB, top golfers and top tennis players. Not to mention we do decently at the Summer Olympics, have god tier swimmers and crush basically every nation or size. Even in the winter Olympics we have medalists and that's despite all the different sports we play on top of not having snow.

No one plays sports the way Australia does.

*hurr australia is shit at soccer. We've won the Asian cup and regularly qualify for the world cup, and this is desite soccer beimg by far the smallest football code in Australia (dwarfed by rugby league amd aussie rules, which are in turn dwarfed by cricket).

I wrote among the best, and is this a copy pasta?

You are good at the British colonial sports? You are the only white country competing against low-t manlets from India and Pakistan.

Norway population = 5,2 million
Australia population = 24,1 million

Then why are Finns the most butthurt ones around on all of Sup Forums these times then?

And what is norway good at lol? Australia has representation at all of the biggest sports in the world, meanwhile Norway has skiing.

>formula 1, tennis, golf, motoGP, soccer, the (relevant) Olympics
>British colonial sports
Pick one, dumbfuck.

And as I said, we also have athletes competing in the highest level American sports on top of having a competitive league of our own for every relevant sport on the planet. Literally the only 'major' sport we don't have a domestic league for is American Football and Ice hockey. If you're going to say your country is a diverse sporting nation then you need to actually play multiple sports, kind of like Australia does.

>cricket
>not the second most popular sport in England, New Zealand, and South Africa (which has a bigger white population than Norway)
Also being better than almost 2 billion Asians in the subcontinent isn't exactly a joke considering it's the _only_ sport they care about.

And no, it's not pasta, you dumb newfaggot.

Norgay absolutely BTFO

Oh, I forgot about this since all this sport we dominate at is hard to keep track of, but Australia has also won gold in field hockey and won the world cup and champions trophy a bunch of times.

Literally all of them except curling and speed skating are just forms of skiing. And even then, Canada are the best at curling while Netherlands are the best at speed skating.

About the same population as the United States when you factor out fat people to be fair.
>last real olympics.
Sochi?

Australians itt:
WE ARE GOOD AT RUGBY LEAGUE AND AFL CAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT PLAYS THEM.
that's great m80s. Go have a sit in the kids corner, the rest of the world is talking about the olympics.

And you do also have about 5 times the population. What are you trying to prove? Norway is AMONG the most diverse sports nations. Simply based on that we absolutely dominate in the Winter olympics and are 6. per capita in Summer Olympics (you are 13.). We are top 5 in handball for men and nr. 1 for women. We have had top athletes in most of the sports you have listed. If Winter Olympics/Sports didn't exist, all the talents we have poured into that competition would go elsewhere.

Historically at least, we are far better than you at football, the biggest sport in the world and the most important by far. American and Colonial sports don't count. You have five times the population.

Canada medal count: 302 (63 gold)
Australia medal count: 509 (152 gold)
Why is a chink colony talking about something he's not qualified to talk about?
K E K

Chinese colony seething that his nation is irrelevant in every sport on the face of this earth detected

But they are very different sports? Per capita we are better than Canada at curling. And I was listing the ones we have medals in.

>American and Colonial sports don't count
>but handball does

LOL

European > The rest of the world
Handball is big in Europe.

Calm down autismo

Norway is actually only good at skiing

>Muh per capita.
>all those sports you play dont count as being diverse because ??
Christ youre pathetic. And no, playing soccer and the winter olymlics (skiing) does not make you a diverse sporting nation. And keep in mind that this argument was originally about diverse, not best. We play 10x more sport than Norway does and that is an undisputable fact. When you have 15 different domestoc leagues for ever semi-relevant sport on earth you can call yourself a diverse sporting nation. Whem youre excellent at all of said sports, you can call yourself Australia

Canada Gold:53
Austrlia Gold:44
??????
You fucking retarded m80?
Also
Last Canadian Olympic win
2010
Last Australian Olympic win, literally never. But stay mad New Zealand less athletic cousin.

Do you mean winter sports in general, or cross country/biathlon only? Because we are very good at more winter sports than that. Also handball we are top five among the men and nr. 1 for women. Nr. 6 per capita at summer Olympics.

>Norway is probably among the most diverse sports nations, especially considering our population number
That would be Scotland. We have a similar population to Norway, but we're actually good at multiple sports instead of just skiing.

>norway is one of the most diverse sporting nations
>only sports that europe plays count
>the sports that britain (a European country) plays dont count
You realise how dumb you sound, right? You cant claim to be a diverse sporting nation then go back and say only sports played in europe count, especially when those sports are played almost exclusively by Nordic countries and not Europe as a whole.

Oops.
Meant 5
To 67 cant ctl c + v correctly.

Its just that Norway is 98% snow and ice, the people are bound to excel at those sports when they have to ski, sled or skate all the time. Do you know how hard it is to deliver pizzas on skis or ride the local toboggan to the grocery store?

Kek where did you even make these numbers up from?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_at_the_Summer_Olympics

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_at_the_Olympics

They have sports in Scotland?

Rugby and rugby league and probably others

See
We have 67. you have 5.
Same amount we have this year you have total.
>BUT THIS OTHER SPORTING EVENT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.
Do you randomly bring up Rugby League whenever you get that All BLACK cock shoved down your throat?

they like skiing

>chinks in charge of using a computer
