I have read in the Wall Street Journal today a very large article on the Norwegian Winter Olympic Team. Norway has acheived 300 medals during the history of the Winter Olympics and that ranks as number 1 among all countries. That is an even more impressive acheivment when you consider that Norway has only 4.5 million people!
Congratulations to Norway! |

Hi Kåre
It looks like the Norwegian team has really come on after a slow start at the Vancouver Olympics. You are finishing very strong!
Go Norway!!

OK, OK, this year might be good for the Tronders, but I'm enjoying and celebrating all the references to and explanations of Telemark style by the American commentators!

Here are some statistics
Best standing in winter games:
Bjørn Dæhli (20 gold, 10 silver, 4 bronze) he is from Hedmark,
Ole Einar Bjørndalen (19 gold, 14 silver, 10 bronze) he is from Buskerud,
Thomas Alsgaard (11 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze) he is from Akershus
This shows that all of Norway has contributed to the total score of medals. |
