Just find the premise laughable. To label the people of a whole country. Its like me believing most from the USA to be stupid and uneducated. In norway we have janteloven. Almost like a controll mechanism in the society. And no. Its not typical Norwegian to be arrogant. Not at all.
Typical Norwegian behavior comes across to Americans as arrogant. True also for Danes, less so for Swedes.

Has that humility been a sporting success for Boasson-Hagen?
Yes.
Has your arrogance made you great at anything?
No.
You are speaking about arrogance? If so, don't think the Norwegians generally are arrogant, a bit narrow minded, and a bit selfconfindent. It might not be the arrogance that has made Norway great in some fields.

Even your neighbors ask you to behave better.
New research shows that Norwegians are now seen as bragging about their affluence, strong currency and lifestyle so much that their Nordic neighbours want them to shut up and calm down.

It's possible in the future the Nordic Scandinave countries will be leading the world.
I have always considered the climat change as a big factor of civilizations evolution.
Now that the Earth climat is becoming more and more hot, the weather in Scandinave Countries is becoming more and more ideal.

New "research" from 2013? Never mind. Danes about Norwegians. When they catch shrimps they can tell which shrimps are Norwegians. They yell: I am a lobster, I am a lobster.
Ingerbrigsten could had at least 3 or 4 serious challengers from Africa in Tokyo. But Athletics in Africa suffer for years from disorganization. Look at the fiasco of Ethiopian selections.
Lol

I think he’s right though, Jakob is still improving
Of course he's right.
I've said it before, that the first time Jakob beats Tim, he'll never lose to him again.
Gjert is clearly a genius, btw. Jakob's weakness was his kick, and they clearly worked hard on that.
Whoops.
more drugs...

Coevett, you are almost always completely wrong with your "predictions". How do you make them? Do you just want to provokate?
met a lot of norwegians and swedes at university. 90% came off arrogant
Extremely arrogant statement from Gjert. Tim obviously suffered badly from his hamstring issues during the summer. Nice to see him shut Gjert up so quickly, both guys at 100% next year will be insane.

Just because people don't engage in pointless small talk doesn't mean they think they're better than you.
Doper Jakob! Seems the juice was diluted today ! 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No marathon, no 10.000m, no Cross Country titles ??
