Norway's youth sports model is super unique:

• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year

The result?

A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).

And it's not just winter sports...

Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).

So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

BREAKING: The USMNT's win against Bosnia-Herzegovina averaged 24.4 million viewers on Fox, peaking at 31.8 million.

That makes it the most-watched soccer telecast in English-language U.S. history.

USMNT striker Folarin Balogun just received a red card for this play vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In Argentina's opening group stage match vs. Algeria, Leo Messi attempted this tackle yet received no card despite making contact on the player's calf.

Did either of these calls deserve a red card?

Friendly reminder that FIFA golden boy Messi received no punishment after this foul earlier in the tournament.

@RooVol It isn’t…it’s a clear yellow.

[Volsbymaybe3 @eastncmatt]

Complete BS….no way that’s a red!

[Volsbymaybe3 @eastncmatt]

@FanOfHomeState I wonder if Melo wanted out, also are we looked at another guard.

[Volsbymaybe3 @eastncmatt]

Has to be another move coming.

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.

Christian Anderson Jr on Kon Knueppel

"He (Kon Knueppel) should have won rookie of the year."

Good move, rook
