  • OT: Medals in the olympics

    From anders t@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 10 23:32:55 2024
    Sweden is the ONLY nation to win medals in ALL Olympics since 1908.

    Of course there are obvious reasons why USA, Germany/BRD and Soviet/Russia haven't done this, but that isn't Sweden's fault, is it?

    I wondered why this wasn't true before, and it's because for the
    first time ever Finland are leaving the Olympics with a zero in the
    medal table.

    Yes, that's right.
