Alexander Stubb in Norway: Iivo Niskanen will win the World Cup in Trondheim 2025

in Norway the president of the republic, who is currently on a state visit Alexander Stubb praised Norwegian sports in his dinner speech.

For example, at the Paris Olympics, Norway won eight medals – four gold, one silver and three bronze – and for the first time Finland did not win a medal.

“It’s not always easy to be the happiest country in the world,” Stubb said.

Stubb joked that some of the medals should go to Finland, because he is a Norwegian weightlifter Solfrid Koanda is half Finnish.

“Solfrid’s here,” Stubb said, pointing to the weight lifter.

In the same breath, Stubb warned the Norwegians that in next winter’s World Cup skiing in Trondheim, the traditional men’s top ten for the host country Norway is only known for duller medals.

“But a small word of caution. I messaged on Sunday Iivo Niskanen with. According to him, at next year’s cross-country world championships in Trondheim, the traditional ten kilometers will only offer silver and bronze for Norwegians,” Stubb grumbled.
