I had no idea there are fast Norwegians. The 400 m hurdles in under 46 seconds......unbelievable

The world record for the 400 m without hurdles is at 43 seconds. This was less than 3 seconds behind that.....with the hurdles !

Did you see American Sydney McLaughlin won the woman's 400m hurdles yesterday with a World Record time of 51.46? See didn't even look like she was trying that hard, just relaxed and comfortable and flying..........

There are three Norwegian brothers who are pretty good at longer distances, plus a sister I think.

It must be all that terrible socialist European influence.

Free child care, free medicine, freedom to say what you want, free old age care, free disability care, free education etc.

Maybe it is because they have a small population and an oil revenue. Which has been invested wisely.

It was nice for a while when we didn't have anybody coming into each thread trying to pick a fight.

The original poster had a question mark in the title. So I answered his question explaining why there are athletic Norwegians.

I was also reminded of that time when, from memory, Trump wanted Norwegians to emigrate to USA. There was a funny cartoon doing the rounds at the time, basically saying why the fuck would Norwegians want to go to USA.

You started it. You invaded Poland.

I may have mentioned the war, but I think I got away with it.
