We are in the dark part of the year here in Scandinavia and I currently dont have enough D-vitamin to find this funny. In fact, I am pretty annoyed with most people right now.

Norwegians are pretty good in ski jumping, biathlon, cross country skiing etc. (generally they are very good in winter sports, even better than the swedes and the finns; and certainly way better than the danes in that respect).

Chess---- Carlsen

Chess---- Carlsen

Fair enough, yes.
If one would ask some random people on the streets what they know about Norway, there's actually a fair chance that some people will point to Carlsen as he has made some headlines and has done a lot for the popularity of chess in general in recent years.
But (at least for me) the thing with chess is that the Norwegians as a country - despite Carlsen - are not regarded as one of the dominant chess nations and therefore not really known as a chess nation. Chess is still quite popular in (Sowjet) Russia for instance, with the Indians and the Americans gaining a lot of track.
And as a whole, the other nordic nations have a bit more to offer in my opinion, so to speak.

For me personally: I dislike Norway for their "fishing" policy as they are still into whaling (much like Denmark via the Faroer Islands), which is a big no-no, i. e. "red flag" for me. Some people don't like to mention it or disregard the topic as unimportant, but for me it is important and as a matter of fact, whaling is probably the thing that comes to my mind first when I think of Norway...

My cohort will immediately say Norway? A-ha! (The greatest pop song ever came from them)

Norway is the absolute superpower country in the Winter Olympics (which unfortunately no one really watches...)

Yes! I thought it was funny that he played that shot VS Omar Assar since the two of them were last mentioned in the same post on this forum as an example of the two most boring players in table tennis.
