The Friday File: The recently concluded Olympics saw 29 nations win at least one medal across a record 116 events. Norway stole the show. It won 18 golds, breaking the 2022 record of 16 set by Norway, and it won 41 medals, breaking the record of 39 set in 2018 by, you guessed it, Norway. More amazing, Norway has a population of 5.7 million, 1.7% of the US population.
