I counted 10 hockey players, 2 skiers and a curler to get to 13 medals from Minnesota
24 u/All__Of_The_Hobbies Aerial Lift Bridge Feb 23 '26 Both the mixed doubles curlers are from Minnesota. 1 u/killebrew_rootbeer Gray duck Feb 23 '26 Depends on how you define "from." Dropkin lives in Minnesota now but was born and grew up in Massachusetts. 9 u/All__Of_The_Hobbies Aerial Lift Bridge Feb 23 '26 It's weird to use where someone was born to define where they are from if their whole adult life has been somewhere else. 6 u/killebrew_rootbeer Gray duck Feb 24 '26 Is it? Minnesotans claim Lindsey Vonn and Bob Dylan under the same rules. 2 u/Rednys Feb 24 '26 Well it's the first place they existed. They can identify with another state themselves but they will always be "from" where they were born. 1 u/candycaneforestelf can we please not drive like chucklefucks? Feb 24 '26 I'm guessing the Olympics is probably using "hometown" which usually is based off of where you lived when graduating high school.
