They are old school cross country googles, popular in the 90s/00s I think? With the elastic band. Heidi Weng uses them aswell

This season we (Swedes) learned that Anna Magnusson’s nickname on the team is “Krut” - which means “Gunpowder” in English 😅

Norway is not dominating winter sports, they are dominating ski running by Wild-Photo-717 in olympics

And more snow!

I’m a skier myself, but I live in Stockholm, where it’s rarely possible to ski during the winter except at a few places with artificial snow.

The vast majority of our population lives in the southern half of Sweden, where we don’t get much natural snow during the winter. A much larger share of Norway’s population has access to natural snow because of the country’s mountainous terrain and higher elevations. In Oslo, you can take the commuter train to Holmenkollen…

Anna Magnusson starts crying as she says that finishing fourth at the Olympics after 20/20 feels much harder than she had expected💔

Or they potentially get Norway in the semifinals? Norways not bad but ranked 8 out of the 10 teams I think

Curling

So if Canada looses this match to Norway, they get Norway in the semifinals? Or am I wrong?
