As a Finn who is always hoping for Nordic athletes to do well, I generally liked the list. However the presentation of Magnus Carlsen was the understatement of the year. He is by many (me included) regarded as the Greatest of All Time and nobody would ever place him lower than #3 of all time and he has reached the highest ever number of points on the ELO ranking. That is the performance and legacy of an outstanding individual.
They really undersold Magnus Carlsen on this list, huh? He should be number one by a huge margine. Arguably the GOAT of chess. And not only regular chess but blitz and rapid as well. He truly is a one in a generation kind of player, and i mean one generation of the whole world. You should check him out playing against.. I think it was 50 players or something, at the same time
But is he an athlete? He really must train alot to sit on a stool for couple hours and lift couple wooden pieces... I admire his chess play, but call him an athlete is ridiculous compare to all real athletes!
@@teigen13 Well, that's an entire different debate all together. It really depends on how you define athlete, or rather how you choose to interpret the definition. He does use his body in the form of his mind but thats really it. We do associate athletes with being in good shape physically. Its even a word to describe if someone is.. Physically in shape: being athletic. So i do agree with you. I do however very much think that chess is a sport, in the same way e-sports etc is. But all that doesnt really matter, as they already put him in this list. My point was that (if youre including him in this list) he should without question be at number 1.
@@teigen13 Physical endurance plays a part in classical chess since it improves the ability to use the brain for hours as well, but you could of course remove some of the sports like chess, rally and golf if you want to focus solely on strength and endurance and not so much on other skills. Then maybe Blummenfelt should me moved up since triathlon is a very hard sport.
@@teigen13 If your stamina (cardio and mental) is not on top, you are not able to play tournaments lasting weeks. Carsen is fit. Just look at that body.
Magnus Carlsen is huge. He's the reason watching the world championships in rapid and blitz between Christmas and New Year's has become tradition for a large part of the country. The main national channel broadcasts chess for hours each day to cover the tournaments
@@charizard6969 Haaland has not made "the whole country" sit and watch the TV as one entity, all of us together, like Magnus did. Haaland has more global fans, probably, but his status compared to Magnus is not close. Great sportsman, though, don't get me wrong, I like Erling a lot.
What Magnus Carlsen has done is far more impressive than what anyone else on this list have done. He is in many peoples opinion the greatest chess player to ever touch the game. In an incredibly competitive game
I know it can be hard to compare. the other people have also done incredibly things, but I personally don't think it is even close. It's like comparing Messi to Haaland as a goat or something like this. It is just a bit of a silly comparison since Carlson has been doing it for so long
Warholm won his gold medal in a final heat where the first three broke his world-record from one month earlier. The latter was set by beating the former world-record that had been standing for 29 years. Warholms world-record beat his one-month old WR with 3/4 of a second.
I thought this would be about Norway's all time best. Turns out that it is the current athletes. Ergo many of the absolute best sportsmen Norway has ever had, goes unmentioned.
How many of our former atlethese can compete in a list like this? The current generation of athlethes we have at the moment in ridiculous. Haaland set the all time scoring record in a Premer League season in the debut season, winning the treble and player of the year. No former Norwegian athlethes is even close to that achivement. Ingebrigtsen is absolutly dominating in middle distance running, Carslsen is the GOAT of Chess, Hovland is arguably the best golf player at the moment and Warholm beat one of the unbeatable world records in atletics then demolished it a few month later in the Olympics. The likes of Bjørndalen, Dæhlie, Northug, Waits, Hegreberg, Eggen, Wirkola, Solskjær, Dale Oen, Rodal, Hushovd etc etc where all great but they simply arent lose to the current crop. Haaland have had a disapointing season so far, he have scorded 14 inthe league and we havent even reached christmas, simply rdiculous.
@@MotRi1986 I very much agree with you, but if there is one change i would do, it would be to swap out klæbo for Bjørn Dæhlie, if we were to count former athletes as well (i don't really know what the focus of the OP is here tbf). He is after all the most successful male cross-country skier in history and therefore still outclasses klæbo in my book, since it falls under the same sport. It does seem like they are weighing heavily towards the more competitive sports here, with the likes of running, tennis, golf, chess, football etc. Which I'm all for. We usually blind ourselves by being so good in the wintersports, that we forget how incredible it is when our athletes can actually compete and win in sports that tens/hundreds of millions play/compete in all over the world.
@@MotRi1986 There are plenty of athletes who could make the list. Ole Einar Bjørndalen is a given. Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Bjørn Dæhlie, Thor Hushovd, Hjalmar Andersen, Johan Olav Koss, Birger Ruud and more... Imo. only Haaland, Carlsen and Warholm of the currently active sports people are sure to be given a spot on such a list.
Carlsen just won the speed and blitz WC, for the second year in a row -his WC title no#16 and 17. He is now almost unanimously considered not just todays best, but the best chess player of all time. He has broken every record there is, and is almost at 3400 rating on lichess which is absolutely insane. He should be head and shoulders on top of this list. Like he said in his interview on Norwegian TV after winning yesterday: "I don't feel too good, played quite poorly -but luckily I still usually win when I play poorly on a bad day".
3:29 "snow all year around", that's a questionable statement. 5:20 Hauger will not drive for RedBull next season as they chose to invest in one of their weaker drivers in the academy. 7:00 Ruud has so far peaked as number two in the world ranking (think it was some time during the summer of '22).
Our Biathlon stars were defenetly forgotten:Johannes Thingnes Bø, Sturla. Recenly retired :Marthe Olsbu Røiseland (won a medal in each race in Anterselva 2020, first athlete ever), Bjørndalen. Cross Country: Marit Bjørgen, Therese Johaug. Golf:Susan Pettersen... Oh , I forgot kombinert:Jarl Magnus Riiber. The list is endless and I have not mentioned Daniel Andre Tande(ski jumping/ had an awesome recovery) We have a tribute show to retired athletes on NRK. Is a hugh suksess for 11 years , still on😀We love our athletes: even those not as suksessfull ones.
I am personally most curious to how Olaf Tufte didn't make this list. The all time greatest rower in the history of the sport and generally a machine in every physical aspect you can find. Norway will never have a greater athlete.
where is marcus kleveland? ( world cup, X games medals ) fredrik aasbo? ( formula drift world champion ) they have done more than a certain dennis hauger on this list for example ... ;)
And this mostly ignores winter athletes. Norway holds the most winter olympics gold medals in the world. It's crazy that such a small country has so many world class athletes.
Left out some of the old big ones like Ole Einar Bjørndalen, and somehow, Magnus Carlsen was undersold so hard. 10 years as the highest rated player, and it's not even close.
In Norway, athletes are not athletes, they're heroes. We love our sports heroes and especially if they're well behaved and down-to-Earth like Norwegians are supposed to be. Alt for Norge. PS: No one can measure up to Magnus Carlsen in what he achieved to do with Chess in Norway, making it close to culture to follow the World Championship and other tournaments Magnus plays in.
The people who paid for that speaker robot should ask for their money back. Of course he butcher the names, peoople's and places' - but also the sentence cadences. It can't even say twenty-twenty-one.
Some of them aren't even close. Ruud sounds more like the English word "rude", and for Ingebrigtsen I would have no idea who the voice was talking about.
I think, as others here, that Magnus Carlsen should be no 1. Reason: Chess is not as big as football, but has been one of the most populasr games for apr 600 years, and Magnus Carlsen is arguably among the very best, maybe even the best, of all time. Football has been aroun for apr 150 years, and of cours Håland is great, (we are proud of him being Norwegian) but at this point, I have never heard anyone compere him with George Best, Pele or Maradonna. It is still a very long way to be concidered one of the best of all times. On the other hand; is chess a sport?
@@pappelg2639 kinda true, i agree, but it isnt that long ago Petter quit professionally, so he has earned a spot here imo :) not like Bjørndalen or Dæhlie, i get that, but recent, Petter shoulda been there :)
I think this list is more about todays athletes, the list would be very different if it was for all time and video almost 2 years old too so current list can be changed alot too
As several has said, the list shows current athletes, but even if Northug was still at his top, I would position Ingebrigtsen, Warholm and Carlsen in front of him (as long as Chess is included). Haaland is also so big in a huge sport that he deserves a place in the top, even though performances in team sports are harder to judge than individual performances. I'm more ambivalent about Hauger, Ruud and Hovland since even though they are top tier players in their sports, they are not dominating it like Ingebrigtsen, Warholm and Carlsen does (and Blumentelt, though I think triathlon is a smaller sport, though probably bigger than cross country skiing). There are so many parameters that it's hard to make a fair list.
is the video current athletes? cause i dont see that stated at any point, might have missed it, if it is not current there are some major misses lol, oh and Carlsen should be number one, he is considered a goat of chess.
I love how non-norwegian speakers says norwegian names SOOOO wrong. Martin Odegaard, sounds so weird. lol. We have Æ Ø Å. Pretty easy to prenounce 🙂Same with Erling Braut Haaland, who, I recently found out might be related to me in some way, the 2 a's are prenounced as Å. Same with Ødegård.
You cannot say it is "easy" to pronounce for non native speakers. They do not know how we use our letters, so they simplify it by using their native tongue. For instance, try to say greek, rwandan, portuguese and welsh names perfectly yourself. If you don't know how the language is spoken, it's not easy to know how it will sound like. But yes, it is funny to hear "ørling Bråt Ha-lan"
Most coastal cities (on the south and western coast at least, excluding the northern cities) usually only have a couple of weeks of snow, so yeah. Questionable statement to say the least haha.
To place Klæbo in 9th is downright offencive. He is ahead of both Casper Ruud and Victor Hovland. Who is the highest achiever of Magnus Carlsen, Karsten Warholm or Erling Braut Håland, I dare not say. But that Johannes Klæbo with all his many wins, both as a sprinter and of distance races at least deserves to be number 4, is beyond doubt. Personally I would have ranked him among the 3 pre-mentioned as shared first. Second, third and fourth would also be from winter sports, and again in no particular order Johannes Thingnes Bø, biathlon: multiple Olympic and world championships, world cup winner. Jarl Magnus Riiber,, combined skiing: Multiple Olympic and World championships, world cup winner. An argument could even be made to place those too on shared first. Casper Ruud and Victor Hovland, because they are not near the legendary status of some of their foreign competitors, are not in the same league as the six I rank above them. The one coming closest is Jakob Ingebrigtsen, and it is just a silver in the Olympics that narrowly places him lower than the 6 above him. After that it becomes difficult again. Cause who to rank higher of the alpine men's team, X-games and world champion Birk Ruud (no relation to Casper)? And what about the skijumper, Halvor Egner Granerud, who won both the German-Austrian skijumping week, and the world cup last year? And we are still just talking about the current male athletes. Where we to add the women anyone from footballers Ada Hegeberg and Caroline Graham Hansen, to the Vipers handball club (Champions League winners the 3 last seasons.), would make the list. Even if we shall include retired or deceased athletes there are many women who should be mentioned. The world's first winner of a world champion gold medal on Marathon, Grethe Waitz in Helsinki 1983. She also won New York Marathon 9 times, and a bunch of terrain and mid range and long distance races on track. But unfortunately lost her life to cancer. Marit Bjørgen, the cross country skier who is the number 1 winter Olympian of all time, deserves a mention. So does the 2nd and 3rd best winter Olympians of all time, male biathlon athlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen, and male cross country skier Bjørn Dæhlie. Other legends are cross country skiers like Therese Johaug and Petter Northug. Speedskaters like Johan Olav Koss and roer Olaf Tufte. Cyclist Thor Hushovd also deserves a mention.
we have also teams who doing well in handball for wemon, we have also a player in football for wemon Ada Hegeberg who have won ballon dor for wemon. im biathlon we have Johannes Thingnes Bø who have won world cup, VM and Olympic games. could named a more. But this is some more that should have been on the list
Magnus Carlsen Should be 1 in my opinion. And Hes career is insane, What he done so young, That video clearly dont understand hes dominance and the high lvl. You Should do a recation video On Magnus carlsen career highlights. This video dont justifies it. And Warholm is a strong 2 in my opinion
I was after his very dominant F3 season, but the F2 cars don’t seem to be suiting his driving style. He has solid race pace, but not great quali pace. He has probably also been the unluckiest F2 driver in 2022 and the first half of 2023 though
