St kitts and nevis as nevis means snow
>ArgentinaNani?!
how the fuck has denmark never won one? its literally surrounded by all the best winter sport nations
>KWABDenmark by far, wtf wrong with these retards. Genuinely don't even believe that but not looking it up.>Honorable mentionsChile and Argentina. Colder and have more money than almost all other thirdies with the second highest mountains on the planet and never learned how to ski on them?
>>153563179malaysia has like 100m people and has 0 summer or winter gold medals
how come Denmark has never won one? i always thought they were the superior Scandis
>direland>0a disgrace to the british isles
>>153563179Lithuania
>>153563312too hot to play outside la
>>153563179>Denmark>Israel>Turkeyahahahahhaa oh no no no no no
Iceland
>>153563194Surely it's Iceland. Their country is named after the stuff yet they can't win a single event on it? Iran has enough snow and mountains too, but for the rule backward Muslims. Peru and Ecuador too.
>>153563247They don't really have winter, climate is similar to yours. More similar to Germany than Norway/Sweden culturally, never heard about a dane on skis now that I think about it.But yea it is strange, feels like ice-skate racing would at least fit them considering how similar they are to Netherlands.
>>153563179how the fuck did Yugoslavia never manage a gold medal? that can't be right, they hosted the 1984 games
>>153563179Iran should be a winter Olympics contender
>>153563760Like Canada in 1976 Summer Olympiad
Denmark > Iceland > Chile > Argentina
Denmark, Turkey, India, Chile, Argentina, Andorra & Nepal
>>153563365Wales and Scotland also have 0 medals.
>>153563179What do the [letters] mean ?
Unless they add ice footy I don't see which sport are we supposed to win in
>>153565729Any acrobatic shit really, it's full of countries that suck at winter sports.
>>153563247Hope this is me when I'm old, hair's already cooked though
>>153563179>IcelandWtf are these guys doing?
>>153565729You do have mountains. Can't you go skiing there?
>>153563194I find the caucasus more surprising, very snowy and rugged geography with athletes that were part of soviet programs
>>153566398Fermenting a bunch of fish lmao (Sweden would never)
>>153566715its surstover...
>>153563277Danes don't have hills let alone mountains.They hardly have proper snow.That's a difficult starting point.
>>153563179>Greece Come on , bruh It doesn't even count
>>153567015Bobsleigh ?
>>153566949Neither have we they can still do skating or ice hockey or even curling
Fuck yeah PortugalWe would have a chance at curling if our maids went there
India and Pakistan have zillions of people between them and contain the fucking Himalayas How not ONE person in either country isn't talented enough to medal in a winter sport is bizarre.They even do good at field hockey so surely could rustle up an ice hockey team if they really tried
>>153563179>NetherlandsHomie what is this list
>>153567015As opposed to us? Come on, you have skiable mountains
>>153565729>ice footyWould be waaaay better to watch than fucking Beach Soccer
>>153563179Iceland
>>153563194>IcelandA small country with only 350,000 people, and their climate actually isn't super amazing for skiing. But they still have snow and mountains, they have winter sports culture, and they have the wealth to fund facilities and training. And multiple winter sports powerhouses are nearby. Most winter sports are so niche that Iceland kind of looks bad for having no gold at all, despite their small size>DenmarkDenmark obviously isn't Sweden or Norway in terms of geography, it's very flat and not particularly snowy. But still, they should have at least one gold. Speed-skating, whatever. Anything. It's not like Danes can't access Sweden, Norway, or perhaps Germany for skiing. They are rich enough to be good at sports, and all their neighbors being good should trigger them>LithuaniaFairly small country, but if Latvia and Estonia can win gold, Lithuania as the most populous Baltic nation should win gold as well>PortugalOdd one out here, but I've heard they are the dominant inliner nation? If so, you could expect them to play at least a bit of a role in speed skating>Bosnia / SerbiaYugoslavia hosted the Games in 1984. Hosts normally win at least one gold. Bosnia and Serbia are better suited for winter sports than Croatia, and it's not like Slovenia is very far away>RomaniaNot even having a single silver makes them look really shitty. There are mountains in Romania, so is snow. They must have some winter sports culture. This must be doable>TurkeyActually has many mountains and a lot of snow there. Is somewhat famous for buying foreign athletes because they are ambitious. Has plenty of diasporoids in winter sports nations>Georgia and ArmeniaSmall, but have good geography actually. Look quite bad nowI'd say it's1. Denmark2. Romania3. Iceland4. Bosnia5. Lithuania6. Georgia7. Armenia8. Serbia9. Turkey10. PortugalBasically everyone else is excused for having basically no contact with winter sports, though some definitely could
>>153563179I'm not entirely sure people here know they are a thing. We call the summer Olympics the Olympics
>>153580819On second thought: put Iceland above RomaniaHonorable mentions to Argentina and Chile, these two could definitely be betterNext in line would be Iran, in my opinion
>>153563247>PlayStationSecured.mp4
icelandI mean c'mon
>>153580819At least we won silver there are many countries this Olympic who don’t have a single medal. Also sadly for us we didn’t have many facilities in the past to train for winter sports and we focused on summer Olympics mainly. In 2024 summer Olympics we were higher ranked than countries like Switzerland and Austria as an example who have more medals in Winter Olympics.
>>153581181Oh and also Poland, Khazakhstan etc.
>Jamaicabut I thought they had a medal winning bobsled teamactually I had to pull up the Wikipedia for Cool Runnings, their best time was eighth in the movie… I always thought they won a medal but crashed trying to beat that time
>>153563350Gay cuck country. Sports are below them
>>153563179gotta be denmark, no?
>>153563179Any country with high gdp and living standards.you have no excuse, you can build indoor rinks and make fake snow. Most of the winter sports are gymnastics on snow and ice. Not to mention you can send your talents to other coutries with the facilities and environments through boarding.
>>153580833All we care about is handball, football, horse riding and strength sports, and we're taking Alfreð back.
>>153580819>Iceland>But they still have snow and mountainsThose mountains are either fucking volcanos or fragile natural parks.
>>153563179>Warmer climates >What a surprise
>>153563247What the fuck is going on here??
>>153581493Any reason on why isn't hockey popular in Iceland?
>>153584548They're literally known for their hot springs, not frozen ponds.
