I'm full into my Ingebrigtsen mania. Now that I'm a subscriber to Norway's largest newspaper, I check their website regularly for updates on the Ingebrigtsen. Here is what I learned today via google translate.

Nearly 1,4 million TV viewers at NRK
NRK reports that a total of 1,372 million viewers saw the final of 1500 meters, 69.5 percent of all who watched Friday night, saw Jakob Ingebrigtenen's first racing race.
The next day the actual number was a bit lower, but the percentage of those watching TV Saturday night was higher, 70.4 per cent. 1,145 million people filled gold and silver ran to Jakob and Henrik Ingebrigtsen.
The seertall was also very good Thursday evening, 914,000, so Karsten Warholm took gold at 400m hekt, a share of 66 percent of all who watched television.
In the local language: Nær 1,4 millioner tv-seere hos NRK
NRK melder at hele 1,372 millioner seere så finalen på 1500 meter, hele 69,5 prosent av alle som så tv fredagskvelden, så Jakob Ingebrigtsens første gullaøp.
Dagen etter var det faktiske tallet litt lavere, men prosentandelen av de som så tv lørdagskvelden, var høyere, 70,4 prosent. 1,145 millioner mennesker fulte gull og sølvløpet til Jakob og Henrik Ingebrigtsen.
Seertallet var også meget bra torsdag kveld, 914.000 så Karsten Warholm ta gull på 400 meter hekk, en andel på 66 prosent av alle som så tv.

You couldn't even google what the population of Norway is before posting and looking silly? It's clear you are misinterpreting what they are representing in that figure, as there are over 5 million people living there.

If Magnus Carlsen can get a million of them to watch chess, I'm not surprised that Jakob can get a few more to watch a track event:

Henrik and Jakob got a hero's welcome at the airport - the Mayor came out.

Jakob apparently has been given a Mercedes by a local dealer.

You didn't read what I wrote. Nor do you understand tv ratings. I wrote that 70% of Norwegians watching TV tuned in. I"m well aware that there are 5 million people in Norway.

I said 70% of the people watching tv were watching them. It's called a ratings share.

From Wikipedia, for the US, Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 4.4/8 during its broadcast; this would mean that out of all television-equipped households (that is to say homes with a TV set, not total number of people), 4.4% were tuned in to that program, while among those households watching TV at the time 8% of them watched."

What I gave you was the second number.

And I didn't make up that number. It came from a newspaper article that I clearly cited.

Sounds like you're misinterpreting it, not him. The thread title clearly says 70% of those watching TV, not 70% of the living population.

Norwegians love endurance sports.

This summer 52% watched rollerskiing competition.

Yes, cross country skiers summer competition has more than 50% of viewers.

This is why Norwegians are not understanding the whole shoe-deal that Americans are talking about.

Endurance athletes will get sponsors from more than equipment companies.

This will make for a great episode on Team Ingebrigtsen!

Remember a month or so ago when no one on here could even spell that name right?? They grow up so quick

Watching the Ingebrigtsens run must be quite a welcome contrast from watching "slow TV" programs like National Knitting Night. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/norways-slow-tv-fascinating-viewers-for-hours-or-days-at-a-time/ It's wonderful to see a country get excited about running.

Watching a 24 h ultra on the track might be their thing.

Norway, the alternate universe where the entire country tunes in to watch a track and field meet and the teenage runner boys have girlfriends.

re: Fellow whitey

Serious question: is it any easier to watch track in Norway? A ton of US events are behind paywalls and when they are on tv they're not always on NBC, they're on NBC Sports or the Olympic Channel. In Norway can you just pop on the tv and find track on a popular channel?
