Norway is a country of 5 million people, smaller than the city of Ahmedabad but it owns all the winter sports, beating vastly bigger United States or Germany or Russia. Last Winter Olympics was an example. Norway won 39 medals leaving Germany 31 and United States 23 behind.
It is like India used to own hockey, no country could beat it. They got too comfortable, now no one talks about hockey in India. Norwegians fear that they dominate winter sports so heavily that they maybe come overconfident of their powers. Then they will fall behind other countries.
It all started only since 2011 when they started promoting winter sports with so much of sovereign wealth from Petro fuel industry. in just seven years span of time they crushed their neighboring big brother Sweden along with competitors like Germany and United States. that is great but they should not get too comfortable with the winnings, no body should.
