  • And in the Beijing Games in 2022 Norway (with 99 athletes) was tops in medals, yet again beating the USA (with 223 athletes) in medal count: 37 to 25. This tiny country has more or less dominated the Winter Olympics since the first winter games in Chamonix, France in 1924.

The article by Tim Genske for Forbes, published on January 21, 2025, discusses Norway's dominance in the Winter Olympics from 1924 to 2024. Despite its small population, Norway has consistently ranked at the top of the Winter Olympic medal standings, amassing a total of 405 medals, including 148 gold medals, which is more than any other nation. The piece highlights Norway's success in various winter sports, particularly in cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping, attributing this success to a combination of cultural affinity for winter sports, robust sports infrastructure, and a strong national sports program that encourages participation from a young age. The article also touches on the broader implications of Norway's achievements, suggesting that their success reflects not just athletic prowess but also a societal commitment to health, outdoor activities, and community spirit.
