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.

Norway (GDP per capita: $86,700 - 96,600; PPP per capita: $91,100 - 109,500) beats US (GDP per capita: $84,800 - 92,800; PPP per capita: $75,500 - 92,900)
18 gold and 41 total versus 12 gold and 33 total.
Norway (1 gold for $5,100 per capita) beats US (1 gold for $7,400 per capita).
Is that better? Or does that make silly confusing headlines for the average person?
Unfortunately Nazis and genocide are a reality of life today, well done you if you can insulate yourself in a bubble to ignore it but that won’t last long if they’re allowed to proliferate.
They use propaganda to push the narrative that the US is the best at everything, since about as long as anyone alive can remember. I think we can excuse The Guardian doing the same in the opposite direction to push the narrative that they’re not the best, and that in fact a social democratic country is better.

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.
