Ep #531: Why Norway is dominating the Milano Cortina Olympics

About this episode

Norway has the secret sauce for Olympic success.

We’re more than halfway through the Milano Cortina Olympics, and Norway is once again leading the medal count with just 80 athletes competing — an astonishing success rate. What makes the Norwegians so darn good at the Winter Olympics? Today’s episode of The GIST of It aims to find out as co-hosts Lauren Tuiskula and Alessandra Puccio dig into why the Scandinavian country of just 5.6M people absolutely dominates the snow.
