Norway at the 2022 Winter Olympics

Sporting event delegation


Norway competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022.[1][2] The Norwegian team consisted of 84 athletes.[3] Kjetil Jansrud and Kristin Skaslien were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[4] Biathlete Marte Olsbu Røiseland was the flag bearer during the closing ceremony.[5]

Three days before the closing ceremony, Norway won its 14th gold medal, thus matching its record performance of 2018, as well as Canada's 2010 and Germany's 2018 results. Norway won its 15th gold medal on 18 February, thus breaking the record. This should be seen in light of the ongoing medal inflation, e.g., from 16 gold medals in 1924 to 109 in 2022. However, Norway also holds the medal inflation-adjusted records: in 1936, Norwegian athletes won 41% of all events (7 out of 17), in 1928, 43% (6 out of 14). As of 20 February 2022, this percentage for the 2022 Games stands at ~14%.

Cross-country skiing

Norway qualified the maximum of eight male and eight female cross-country skiers.[7]

The 2018 champion in the 30 km skiathlon, Simen Hegstad Krüger, qualified for the Olympics but tested positive for COVID just before the games. Even though he had no symptoms, he was not allowed to fly to China with the rest of the team to get a chance to defend the title. Earlier, Heidi Weng and Anne Kjersti Kalvå also tested positive and had to miss the Olympics.[8] However, six days before the 50 km race was to start, Krüger had negative tests and was allowed to participate. He then won the bronze medal in the race, which then had been shortened to 28 km caused by weather conditions.
