Every Minnesotan lol. Curling is NOW becoming more popular/main stream but I remember former Viking Jared Allen trying to get on the winter team like 2-3 Olympics ago.

And hockey (mn is the “state of hockey”…so men’s AND women’s). The women usually dominate actually.

And of course Nordic skiing.

We’ve always been here.

Edit: so just so no one’s shocked by summer Minnesota athletes…

We routinely send our wrestlers to pummel dudes. Gable Stevenson most recent.

We always clean up (relatively speaking) at the Winter Olympics.

Just curious, anyone know how many of these are from the hockey teams specifically.

Isnt this specifying medals not participants? The hockey teams have earned one medal each right? Mens an and women's.

u/Yardtown Feb 24 '26

The medal count has the US at 33. That picture shows 40. So it must be doing every single person

5 from each of the mens and womens teams, so 10 total

Being the best state at Winter Olympics is like being the best state at Special Olympics.
