Well I am proud of my country, like most people.
We always fight with our good neighbours the Swedes. In all sports we fight, and in most cases it could be more important to beat the blue and yellow than to win.
the other issue, and especially in rally the swedes have always been the big brother. More and better drivers, two carbrands, and a lot of great brands.
The Solberg history is of course much the Petter story. First WRC drivers champ, and the solberg effect after that, that brought many talents. Henning also has his part of the success og Norwegian rallysport the last 20 years.
I have no problem sharing Oliver, and the most important thing is that he reaches his goal and targets, and have fun along the way.
The Swedes beat us in Biathlon today, and we will fight back tomorrow, and take gold!

Looks like his entry for Arctic is as Norwegian? Maybe hard for Adamo as well to understand Olivers nationality

FIA rules say nationality is the same as passport for world championship events but same as ASN issuing rally licence for other international events. I assume he has a Swedish rally licence and a Norwegian passport.

I find it actually funny how concerned many Swedes are about saying he is "theirs".
He has both citizenships, I don't think he physically has the Norwegian passport (he mentioned it in some interview just recently) but that's just paperwork.
On a practical note the first thing people from outside of Scandinavia recall when hearing his name is that he is Solberg... son of the Norwegian WRC Petter Solberg not that he is the son of the Swede Pernilla Walfridsson. I agree it might be slightly unfair, but that's how it is. In light of that I am totally fine with him running under the Swedish flag.

Croatia is nice in TV, but for the fans it isnt so great. Waking up at 2:30 to watch just 2 passes of SS9, cuz there is just NO entrance to the stage
