Britain did well in the sledging and snowboarding, although not so good in the sweeping curling thingy.

We are still hoping to do well in the making a snowman competition and the snowball fight though.

Hmm...When thinking it, I see your statement as an potential threat!
You have there more wet snow (When you have snow now and then) than we here,we have more days with dry snow an not so many days with wet snow (% / snow days).
And every one knows that wet snow is better for snowman and snowballs.

I am very sorry but you need to understand that we have reputation as an winter wonderland and that includes also snowmen....And we need to cover that reputation.
That's why I have send hit-man to Great Britain. He will fix an "accident" to your best candidate (for snowman competition).
In fact, I just got "Mission complete" message and this picture.

Sorry about this but this was something what had to be done.
It is not personal, only business.

Finland did not do bad in the Winter Olympics. Denmark did not win any medals.

Come on we don't win many medals in the Winter Olympics, so at least let us win the building a smowman competition and the snowball fight.

As for your hitman we have informed our agent OO7, and he will take care of him.

I know I am not answering the question totally. Denmark does not seem to get as much snow as Norway or Sweden. Denmark is a relatively flat country-so not a place to go downhill skiing. In someways they are like the Netherlands which did quite well in the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. The Netherlands is also quite a flat country, so they are not known for skiing. However, the Netherlands does quite well in speed skating. I wonder if Denmark would try to follow suit? As for Finland- I don't know why they do not do as well as Norway or Sweden in the Winter Olympics.

Pyenchang 2018:

Norway: 14 / 14/ 11 = 39
Sweden: 7/ 6/ 1 = 14
Finland: 1/ 1 / 4 = 6

Yep, very close

Everything was even much better when Finland was part of Sweden before that.
Then came Russian bandits and after while these bandits where kicked out.
1939 you tried again with your glorious red army but failed.
All what you got from here was glorious graves and even that graving had to do by Finns because you didn't care,you left your fellow citizens to suffer and die and escape.
So glorious was red army then and still is, bombing of hospital and children is glorious stuff for you.

There is nothing glorious on your Russia/Soviet what is based on lies and kleptocracy,not was in past and not today.

These bandits built you water pipes, helped prepare the Olympic champions, trained in military affairs (for example, Mannerheim was a teacher in the General Staff of the Russian Empire), production increased 300 times, gave tax benefits, returned the state Finnish language. Learn the history, fin. History always has dark and light spots. You would not be able to gain independence in Sweden. But at the same time you lick Sweden and scold Russia.
