Norwegian athletes (not cross country skiing)

In Norway we really like to win in sports. We like everything that we usually win. You might know that we are amazing at cross country skiing, but I`m going to tell you a little bit about some other great athletes we have, that Norway normal is not that good at.


Magnus Carlsen is Norways best chessplayer. He has won the wold champions twice, and we would say he is the worlds best chessplayer.














Cecilia Brækhus is a boxer. In Norway professional boxing is illegal, so she boxes in Germany. And last year she was the fist woman in the world to hold all major world championships titles in her weight division. 

Martin Ødegaard is a 16 (!!) years old soccer player from Drammen. When he was 15 he was the youngest Norwegian soccer player to play in the best soccer league in Norway. And now he actually plays for Real Madrid reserve team!

Olaf Tufte is a rower. Also the best in Norway. He has two gold medals and one silver medal in the olympics. And in the world Championships he has two gold medals, one silver and three bronze. With other words he is one of the worlds best rowers.
