🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News - Sport
The true key to the norwegian success in sports and especially winter sports is that our population as a whole lives and breaths sports. Success in sports is in many ways the single most important thing for our nation, and we take great pride in our success.
We also spend a lot of money on sports facilities (not everywhere, but a lot of places), and our cross country team in particularly has a budget that makes the rest of the world(in the same sport) look like they are amateur teams.
And now, the single most important thing, we are a wealthy nation. This is important because it means that the vast majority of our population has the funds and time to allow their children to pursue sports. And with the government allowing special ways to save and pay taxes for the money made from sports we make sure that our athletes have a relatively good chance of being able to live on the winnings and earnings from their sport after their career ends.
Your a wealthy, homogenous (I.e. all white) psuedo socialist country that doesn't have to spend those high tax dollars on poor immigrants because you don't let anyone in. That sounds harsh. I'm not knocking it.
@@benhaney5843 don’t let anyone in? I feel it s the opposite way.
@@benhaney5843 You should read up a bit before you start spreading that infowars "knowledge". We absolutely accept immigrants here. In fact Norway has gone from basically a 100 percent homogenous society to almost 20% having immigrant backround in one generation. And the socialist accusation is just ridiculous. If you spent 5 minutes googling you would learn that we are not a socialist country.
@@benhaney5843 80% of Norwegians are ethnic Norwegians (at least one Norwegian parent it also includes the sami people).
@@benhaney5843 We already pay more taxes than anyone else to our society. Still Norway is the easiest country in the World to become a millionaire in. Why do you think that is?
I feel so proud everytime i hear anything about Norway and the winter olympic games plus we won 20+ gold medals in pyeongchang 2018
Good to see the experience of the Norway people's.. All the best for their goals..
wow they even have a school just for athletes !!!! No wonder how they keep finding new talents. Great job Norway!
Angry White Guy Great... I'm moving immediately!
Chris Aster You know that other countries do the same right? China for example has a lot of them.
I know other countries do too, unlike mine (Greece... :/) but Norway seems to have the best results out them compared to other countries in the Olympics.
Chris Aster It is important to remember that Norway is successful for many reasons, one of which is the Sport schools. At least that is what I would say about my country (Norway).
i didn't think that was unusual for other countries :o
People get so focused on the amazing Norwegian skiers that they forget about Norway’s fantastic snowboarders
Not every norwegian lives like this, just have to say that. Most of us lives modern lives in large towns
Large towns?
''Large'' towns like Oslo and Bergen
Yeah, like Oslo and Nergen
Everybody in Norway lives modern lives. Its not like you are cut of when living in the norwegian country side quite the opposite.
Bergen has a pretty similar look to this town in the documentary
Neskutečné výkony norských olympioniků, vítězství, výkony!!! 🍾🏅Gratulace všem sportovcům a Norsku z české republiky!
It's all about the Gjetost!!!
I'm a second generation American-Norwegian and have only had the chance to visit my Norwegian side of the family once. It was so awesome, and kind of weird! When I was there, I felt like I was literally at home, like visiting my grandparent's home when I was a kid. My family in Norway, the other people I met, all had similar interests as me, similar senses of humor, so welcoming and inviting. They even drank as much coffee as I drink! We took a trip to the mountains and they brought a thermos of coffee... that's exactly my style! And everyone looked just like me (go figure). What I also find crazy is that I love the cold and love exercising in the cold. My body seems to do much better in it, and it does poorly in the hot summers (just like my Norwegian relatives). Fish is a staple of my diet just because I've found my body needs it for optimum performance (I compete in cycling). And I only discovered this through lots of experimenting... I guess it's just literally in my DNA.
Anyway, this 2018 winter Olympics have been so much fun to watch, to cheer on the Norwegians and teach my boys about their heritage. I also can't stop thinking about my Norwegian family and contacted them again after too many years without contact. Thank you Olympics and Norwegian athletes for bringing us together again!
Brown Cheese is something you have to learn to like. If you try it for the first time there's a good chance you are gonna spit it out. Think olives or coffee, it's a very strong taste that your brain thinks might be poison and makes you want to reject it. Look at him when he said that's amazing, he spit that out as soon as he went off camera.
Exquisite flavor! It's caramelized whey [not cheese], what's not to like? Ask the kids, our parents resorted to this as poor mans candy. It does not resemble normal cheese in any way, it's more like an easily breakable clay that can be molded even after it's made. Few foreigners like it, but such it is for any country's special meals. It is probably the crash between the sour and sweet, and like other people have different wines, so is our our brown cheeses. He might've gotten one of the more special ones; though the lighter color, the easier for newbies. Very good in sauces, a nice start.
Best thing? I don't officially eat it any more as I've gone vegan, but I take a nibble here and there if there are leftovers at parties. Cravings are small, but they can never vanish once you like it. Other worthwhile spreads to taste are "prim" [buttery soft brown cheese, less flavory], "gomme" which is just too incredible to describe, but it is derived from boiled down fat milk and kefir. I also think maybe spiced herring and other variants of it are favoured especially here, certainly [was] good and something we persisted on since we learned how to use fishing nets. A dish as norwegian as can be to test out are "rømmegrøt" [even got its own eng. wiki, a sour cream porridge], served with sugar, ground cinnamon, butter on top and cured meat besides on a paper thin, slightly sweet crisp-bread! Time to create a vegan brand, because a viking spirit craves these eccentric tastes that's embedded in our genes to match the great nature.
Everyone loves it with rasperry/strawberry/blueberry jam. Or on a toast with butter. Or on norwegian waffles, yummy.
Well, every american i have served the "ekte gjeitost" (real goatcheese) love it. On dark bread especially, nothing is better for you. This is the norwegian version of the greek
feta-cheese, quite different, but both good for you ! You might have to learn to like it, i agree on Niklas' comment.
Brown Cheese from goat milk is very strong and even I don't like it, but the variant from milk (Fløtemysost) is very light in taste, and would probably remind You of some sort of caramel. Brown cheese in cocoa and brown sause is very awesome! Must try! A fun fact: Some cheeses are marked with G35, where the G is informing you that the cheese is made from goat milk and 35 is the % of fat added to the cheese. Norwegian standard goat brown cheese (Grudbrandsdalsost).
true that, I moved to Norway when I was 10, never got used to the taste.
It's quite simple. In Scandinavia we gain strength from raking the forest floors from an early age. Hard work, but it pays off!
Norway / sweden 2030 winter olympics
This was great. More of these!
The narrator is obviously not a foodie lol - the scope of his gourmet commentary: “Paul, the fish is so good!”
You also can find this "brown cheese" in the western part of Austria, were it ist called "Sieg"...Each village has a "Sennerei" where you can buy it.
Brown cheese basically tastes like a mixture of caramel and milk. Its really good but i rarely find myself eating it.
potato fries to bad for you then
He missed the key of Norwegian success. The people behind it all, is not just the state, food, tarain or the Viking spirit.
But: Love of the sport, love to the parents and family, volunteers from the local people who helps, with the knowledge of Snow, temperature, ice, wind and how fast thing changes....
Norway is buildt on volunteerism............ and it is very strong today.....
Main key..... "You have to love what you do"
368 medals as of now
Excellent country.
Man, I was born in the wrong European country, such a relaxed country with chill people👌🏼
which one?
I think most Norwegians learn atleast 1 winter sport. I know how to crosscountry ski, downhill skiing, snowboard and ice skating. Though I prefer downhill skiing.
I wanna visit Norway now 🇳🇴 🇳🇴🇳🇴
You didn’t before?
GuttenRaknes ! No, I just didn’t think of it before
Fiona Hassett please do, you are very welcomed❤
That depends
Well, I won't stop you. Come visit us, our slopes are awesome!!!
My grandfather won a silver for Sweden and he lived on the Norwegian Swedish border
The border between norway and sweden is very unpopulated if I know correctly, more of a geographical border than anything else.
He lived in a large unpopulated farm
Hahahahahaha. Bless you bennet
São excelentes mesmo 🙌💖😚
I love my country so much.
Short answer: we have snow
So good!
Now start speed skating again damnit We miss the competition :-(
We're working on it, the gen coming up in a few years might be able to cut it
Gold today, buddy!
YES and well deserved Briljant race
I think you jinxed it, beat the dutch team today lol :)
yeah I just saw good for you we were struggling in the previous match as well Dont get used to it m8
I think another reason, why Norwegians take pride in winning for their country is, that they were "under" Danish or Swedish rule for many centuries. They are a young AND ancient Nation at the same time. Btw they are of course VERY supportive of their own athletes, but ALWAYS applaud visiting athletes, who are performing well.
Im from norway (Ja vi elsker dette landet)
One word VIKINGS
One word: astmha medecine!
Viking is a verb. Vikingr is the word ur mean. But you are right
As far as medals per capita , its most likely due to the independent structure of the society. Why so great at winter sports? Probably because we're covered in snow 6 months of the year coupled with with a deeply engraved culture for winter activities, mainly skiing. Hence the saying "Norwegians are born with ski"
Yeah but I live in Canada and it is much the same but you outperform us on average and your population is only 1/6 of ours. Good for you.
Its only 6 months in the northern parts, even some parts in Norway sometimes dont have any snow at all
Yee go Norway!❤️
4:50 the world record holder for the ski jump doesn’t even know if it’s dangerous. Norwegians are like Russians but instead of bears, its sports.
1:24 that is not how you say brunost, put more sound into it, like a higher pitched tune at the end, we sound very musical.
🤔 Hm, but austria ispretty good too, Marcel Hirscher won nearly every single race and austria is a ski nation too, but I really respect Norway for theis skill. They are an really good opponent.
Austria is amazing downhill, but cross skiing etc they aren't even close, yet....
I am from Norway American and other People! Norge for the win!
i know everyone are gonna say that their using asthma medichine, but haven't you forgot that every country in the world uses that? 😂😂😂
if we uses that "asthma medichine" then we're not the only one! 😑😑😑
sorry for bad english 😷
Norwegians are doping big time
@@staslurik They should be caught then, no? Is it a big conspiracy? Everyone wants Norway to win? Norway has bulletproof doping? How do they nuke every other nation in the winter olympics, and don't get "caught"?And have been doing it for decades? My guess is they just train from the age of 2, have good infrastructure for training, have a good culture for training, and go from there. But hey, what do i know.
@@thanossnap4170 thanos snapped
I'm Norwegian and proud to be.
It may be coz it's covered in snow for half the year.....
And because parents and schools practekly forces children to go skiing from the moment they learn how to walk
there's never snow where I live in norway tho, not everyone lives up north
Kaori Miyazono where you from? Bergen is almost never snow, only a few days wet snow
Stavanger
There is no snow in Stavanger
I miss Norway
Born with skis on the feet
Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland hello from Indonesia 🇮🇩🤗
They consume tons of asthma medication. That is tantamount to doping. Johaug has doped and she must therefore accept the accusation of not being clean despite her talent and her incredible physical condition. But they have so many talents and spend a lot of money to become best in winter sport. They are at the moment the best!
I love me some broomust in the morning.
*cough* brunost. Brun ost. Nice try though of his botched performance, as you gott'a be a linguist to pronounce correctly as a tourist.
Winter Olympics is a life style thing...How many kids in Norway own a set of skis for instance ,compared to say,Australians?
Aksel Lund Svindal ❤❤❤❤❤
Erling Braut Håland
If you add all the German Teams at the Olympics together (because Germany was seperated for nearly 40 years) they would end up in first (more gold medals and more overall medals).
nextReanimation right! Deutschland ❤❤❤
And the Russians
If UK and Australia come together...
That is not true 😆
Island of Tromsø?
Lots of desinformation here. I can see that. When he meet Paul, thats not Tromsø.
I just thought of something, its normal for norwegians to drink fish oil straight out the bottle, once a day for breakfast. Dont know if this is something other people know about us.
Ah, yea... We do that actually.
I just try to avoid it though, becuase it tastes horrible... Beh.
Sadly Fannemel did not qualify to the olympics.
They compete hard in sports no one cares about, that’s how. Sweden and Finland have like 100 hockey players that makes more in a year than most of their athletes will do in their lifetime. 1 gold i hockey is worth approximately infinite biathlon golds.
Is all super healthy regional food brown?
No?
we are so great cuz we are vikings and we are born and raised in a cold and snowy country, ofc we are gonne crush everyone on skiing then
Gold for the Orange guys on the 1000m See what I mean So good to have the Norwegians back
Dont @ me but brun ost is not bad tho
@nasro hassan
Tromsø is not an island but a city
En 2 literbytta med messmör och ett tjockt sugrör är allt jag behöver. yum...
I´m hungry
ey my country
Lol we won 39 medals this season
Brown cheese is their dope lol.
Erling Braut Håland and Martin Ødegaard Fotball
Sorry for my fella contrymen for not beeing the best english talkers
most of them do speak/write in English better than the rest of the non native countries (and sometimes even better than the native speakers) to be honest...
That is because the older people are not so good i am fluent in English and I was since I was 9
Tror det er den beste kommentaren jeg noensinne har sett 😂😂😂
I am Norwegian and have never eaten brown cheese just tried it, but fish, egg and milk we eat
Jonas IDK you know if you have tried it you have eaten it, right?
Everyone in Norway eats brown cheese
you are not norwegian if you don't eat broomust.
Broomust? Think you mean Brunost there bud
Noen norske? Norway is the best!!!
Heia Norge!
ZeRo you are the best at doping that's true. Half fo your team has to take 'medicine' beacause of 'asthma'. Beacuse we all know that asthmatics are world class sportsmen.
it doesnt do anything with your body that makes you better at skiing if you take your asthma medicine. and we are still the best Heia Norge!
jepp!
ZeRo yes im here JA VI ELSKER DETTE LANDET SOM DET STIGER FREM
From Norway Ronny
Why is Norway particularly strong in the Winter Olympics? There were four medals for the Summer Olympics. Is it a fight with yourself rather than the country? "
Did they focus on the discovery of "TRUE EGO"眞我?
No.... 93% of our population participates in organized sport before the age of 25.. Quite higher than most other countries.
Kids of ragnar and rolo
I like brunost
Gratulerer
The funny thing is that you can hear where in Norway most Norwegians live by their English accent
J'y suis allé.
Au bout d'un moment, on sature au niveau du saumon.
The answer.... Brown cheese ;;))
God vidio bra jobba
You butchered the pronounciations so bad, really cracked me up
Pronounced Tromsø really good actually👍
Norwegian is hard to pronounce for scrubs like them
Why do you expect him to know Norwegian? I'm from Finland and you can bet that the NHL commentators absolutely brutalize the names of my countrymen but I don't care because they can't be expected to pronounce correctly a language they have never studied.
I am pretty sure that the sole thing that makes Norway the most decorated country in WO especially in things like biathlon is asthma.
And this is based on?
It's russian propeganda. Because Norwegian athletes struggle with asthma, Russians somehow want to turn Asthma into a benefit and say that because Norwegian Athletes use Asthma medecine they somehow preform better than athletes that dont. Dont try tro refuse it tho! Then its fake news!
hahah got the best english speakers to represent our country
Hockey is still their weakest link ironically.
Team sports is our weakness, due to our limited population. Larger populations have an advantage because they can establish better leagues. We excel in individual categories.
He sort of looks like Sherlock Holmes lol
It's the government. It's the government that makes Norway the most decorated country in the winter sports. You see, Norway is the only country in the world with state sponsored athletic sports. And here's a little fun story. Norway has a very egalitarian culture. Everybody is supposed to be the same. This is reflected in the school system as well. Everybody receives the same quality of education. No exceptions. There are no elite schools in Norway. That is..... except for one. The only elite school that exist in Norway, which sole purpose is to foster and educate the best of the best, the elite, is the college of physical education or the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. This school gathers the top sports talents from all over the country and gives them everything they need to become top notch competitors in the most prestigious competitions of the world. All of the Norwegian medal winners through out history has attended this school. Here they receive a highly professional support system to foster their sports talent, and it's all paid for by the Norwegian government.
"Only country in the world with state sponsored athletic sport". You really should do some research before writing stuff and presenting it as facts. You don't have to go further than Sweden to see that you are wrong. And the further you go, the more you will see that you are wrong. Det kryr av land der staten sponser og støtter idrett økonomisk!
The Swedish government doesn't sponsor elite athletes. The Swedish elite athletes are on their own, like in any other country except for North-Korea, and has to find private sponsorship in order to stand a chance. After the fall of communism, Norway is pretty much alone in the world with state sponsoring elite athletes.
Uhhhh no? Pretty much all great western nations sponsor their elite athleates. USA, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Germany etc.
Norway also have private sponsors aswell as the state.
Norway has private sponsorship because the elite athletes can choose. For the top athletes, it's a political question, but they can choose. Still, Norway is the only country in the world who sponsor's their elite athletes with state sponsorship.
All the different foundations within sports rely on private sponsors. that is why popular sports like cross country, biathlon etc and the ones with much TV- coverage have a lot of money to provide for their top athletes, but others like rowing, and other summers sports have very little and many athletes have to rely on funding from parents and loans to pay for the costs of becoming the best. The state is funding some to the "breddeidrett" and events, but the most important factor is the effort of dedicated parent and volunteers that arranges trainings and competitions and build up sporting clubs.
South of Norway is hot in summer and its the best country in the world
Have you been north of Sinsen krysset ?.
everyone eats brunost here

heyheyyou its just that norwegians get really excited when people talk about our country, since other countries dont talk about us.
"its just that norwegians get really excited when people talk about our country, since other countries dont talk about us"
Do you realize how pathetic that sounds? :P
Black metal music
sorry in om is a Norwegian Word
And no one cares that you're in Norway. Får du lite oppmerksomhet utenfor internett, eller?
Do you think people have to care for someone to post a comment?
I don't believe anyone posts anything on the internet, without believing that the post will be noticed or recognized by someone. Clearly, a lot of Norwegian kids on the internet care, since they keep announcing to everyone else that they're Norwegian - as if that's something that's worthy of attention or acknowledgement.
If you could understand what she ment she did not say "i am from norway" she sayed " "om" is a Norwegian Word" Wich it is and it means "if"
That was a correction of her other comment, which said "i live om Norway", whatever that means. I rest my case.
Im just here to get a nice Pump, before this Winter. God bless you all, because we wont.

This isn’t the only case involving the Norwegian team, Timo Seppala said in an interview.
“CAS report showed that the Norwegian Ski Federation was aware that Sundby was using this drug. The doctor of the athlete knew about overdoses, but did nothing to prevent them, which means the federation should be held responsible. Obviously WADA should set up a committee to investigate the use of illegal drugs in the Norwegian Ski Federation to establish the truth. There is no other way,” Seppala said.
In 2011, WADA legalized the anti-asthma drug symbicort, which was being used by famous Norwegian skier Marit Bjoergen at that time. Though experts say that asthma drugs can’t help athletes breathe easier during races, the matter has raised much concern within and beyond sports community.
Yelena Valbe, president of the Russian Cross-Country Ski Association, spoke out on the dominance of Norwegians in both men’s and women’s races, calling it “very annoying,” since their team consists solely of asthmatics.
Valbe also supported the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said during his annual Q&A session in December of 2015 that athletes requiring drugs for medical reasons should consider joining a paralympic team.
