Norway might be most known for snow, winter and cold, but many of
the most popular sports are actually most suited for either a
hall or during a nice, warm summer day. Looking at the 20 largest
sports associations in Norway, 17 of them are best suited for
summer or a temperate hall. That might be because many of the
largest winter sports are united in the Ski Association, however,
the Ski Association is only the third largest in Norway. Both the
Football Association and the Handball Association are larger.
The Football Association is the largest sports association in
Norway with 375 000 members, which is over twice as large as the
second largest one: the Handball Association with 139 000
members. Football in Norway is usually played on an artificial
turf, as the climate most places is not suited for a grass field
for most of the year. I myself have played football for over 13
years.
Handball is the second largest sport and is also very popular in
other European countries. We have a lot of sports halls, and when
it’s cold and dark outside, it’s nice to go inside to a warm
hall.
Other large sports in Norway are gymnastics, track and field,
swimming, cycling and various martial arts. Also, while Norway is
mostly known for its achievements in winter sports, it also has
some very good athletes in summer sports. Let’s look at the
medals Norway won during the last Summer Olympics in Tokyo 2021.
Norway won four golds, two silver, and two bronze, making us the
20th best nation in the world. Pretty good, considering that
Norway is a small and cold country. Andreas Mol and Christian
Sørum won gold in sand volleyball, Kristian Blummenfelt won gold
in triatlon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the 1500m race, and maybe the
most laudable achivments of them all: Karsten Warholm’s gold and
world record in 400m hurdles. There are, as you can see, several
really good athletes from Norway competing in summer sports as
well.
