Can you explain why only Norway has achieved outstanding results in the Nordic Winter Olympics?

This place in Denmark is not as cold as Beijing in winter, and it snows at the ankles, which basically melts immediately. There is snow in Sweden, but there are not so many mountains, so basically it is to light a bunch of candles in winter to be a qualified hibernating hamster, or fly to Southeast Asia by yourself. There is snow in northern Finland and some mountainous areas, but all the people are afraid to participate in group activities. This leaves Norway with snow, mountains and money, so basically why do you see Norway is more eye-catching among these four countries?

There is no snow in Denmark, there are not so many mountains in Finland, and Sweden is not bad, but the tradition in Norway is skiing, and the mountain conditions are good. If you look at the medals in Norway, they are more or less related to skiing, especially cross-country skiing. Norwegian cross-country skiing is similar to table tennis in China and skating in Holland.

On the one hand, Norwegians living in mountainous areas have passed on their great love for ice and snow activities from generation to generation. On the other hand, Norway makes full use of its natural advantages to build a mature industrial chain for the development of ice and snow sports.

In the mainstream sports powers in Europe and America, except skating and snowboarding, most snow sports are unpopular challenges that few people care about. As the origin of various skiing events, Norway has unique geographical and climatic conditions. The government actively introduces sponsorship to encourage the development of clubs. Not only the popularity of alpine skiing and cross-country skiing is high, but also a large number of people participate in winter sports every year. As a "big country" in Northern Europe, Sweden's population is nearly twice that of Norway. However, people's choices of sports are more diversified. Besides the traditional ice and snow sports, more people are keen on other sports.

Up to now, Sweden has won 503 medals in previous Summer Olympic Games, including gold 148. Norway won 163 medals, including 62 gold medals. Compared with Norway's strong investment in winter sports, the distribution of sports in Sweden is closer to the normal state of most countries.
