Completely dominated by Norwegian athletes, and it's detrimental to the sport as a whole, on an international arena. While Hockey is bigger than cross-country, I'm still not convinced the sport is better off being dominated by a few countries. |
For a century at has been largely dominated by the Canadians and the Soviets/Russians with the Swedes, Americans, and Finns being also being competitive. Hockey will always struggle to grow beyond countries that have the climate that are conducive to the sport.
