Most of the country is covered with glaciers and permafrost, and it depends on skiing. The Norwegian investment in Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics may make many people doubt their lives.

In terms of the annual total budget of the British Olympic Committee, it was as high as 137.5 million pounds.
