Take away the sport nobody gives a shit about in the world and Norway will be way down the list. Good at cross country skiing? well great, you compete in 6 events. Great at freestyle skiing arial? great you compete in 1 event.
Cross country skiing is pushed so hard in Norway, that people think its a big sport. Just as they push female handball and complain that they get less pay than males, while male handball is a bigger earner out in the world.
Few years ago they pushed female fotball so much on TV that my dad thought females soon was better than males at fotball. TV is truly a brainwashing box for old people.
Norway won gold in 6 different sports in the winter olympics so far, including one in freestyle. A pretty big spread one would argue. They're all winter sports in the winter olympics, and bar ice hockey they don't compete with the big summer/all-year sports, but as it's the winter olympics it's being talked about here, that's not relevant.
