Originally posted by rwingettHa ha! That reminds me of Knut Nærum's book "Krig!" ("War!" ). It starts out with the World Championship in skating, where a Norwegian skater falls and pulls the Dutch skater who is about to win down with him, and it eventually leads to Norway declaring war towards The Netherlands. A hilarious and thought-provoking satire, which unfortunately hasn't been translated to English (there's only a Dutch translation).
Norway has 7 Olympic medals. There's several countries tied for second place with 3. At this pace Norway will conquer the world. They must be stopped at all costs! We need to bring Tanya Harding out of retirement to cripple their skaters.

Norway have already been cheated of a gold, Kari Traa should have won the gold in the women's mogul skiing ... she was miles better than the rest of the field

And the USA is far more likely to take over the world. 😉
