NomNomNorway (population: 5.7m) beats US (342m) to top Winter Olympics medal table
bearboiblakeIt isn’t irrelevant at all, obviously population size is one of the most important variables when it comes to gold medals, another one is availability of winter sports, another is national wealth and investment in sports & athletes.
It’s a good thing that Nazi USA didn’t top the table. It is a disgrace that Israel was allowed to compete. The IOC is complicit with genocide.
The article ignores every other factor and purely focuses on population size, economics will always defeat population size when it comes to finding and developing elite athletes.
And please can we go just five minutes without bringing nazis and genocide into every conversation, it’s exhausting.

If you don’t like it, do something about it. It’s good that it makes you uncomfortable. That’s a message from your conscience, maybe you could act on it.
You don’t know a single thing about what I may or may not have done about any of those issues. Like you don’t know if I’ve been on anti-war and anti-fascist marches, contacted representatives, asked questions at town-halls or anything else. But fuck me for posting a comment online right? What a nazi apologist I must be.
With that level of reaction, yeah, you’re definitely doing nothing except complaining. I didn’t call you a nazi apologist, but now I gotta wonder. Waah waah wah, how dare people expect things from me.
