'''[[Norway]]''' sent 74 athletes to the '''[[2006 Winter Olympics]]''' in [[Turin]], [[Italy]]. At the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] Norway won the most gold medals, and before the Turin games, Norwegian sports officials were aiming for more than the 25 medals they won in Salt Lake City — the president of the [[Norges Skiforbund]] [[Sverre Seeberg]] was quoted saying he thought Norway would win 25 medals in the skiing events alone{{ref|Seeberg}} ([[alpine skiing]], [[cross country skiing]], [[freestyle skiing]], [[nordic combined]] and [[ski jumping]]). The Norwegian Olympic Committee aimed for Norway to be the best nation measured in the number of gold medals. However, Norway won only two gold medals in the games.
In addition to the skiing events, Norway also qualified athletes at [[biathlon]], [[curling]], [[skeleton (sport)|skeleton]], [[snowboarding]] and [[speed skating]]. In addition to [[International Olympic Committee|IOC]] qualifying times, the Norwegian Olympic Committee have required that athletes need to place themselves once in the top six or twice in the top twelve in major individual events in the sport to be selected {{ref|BT}}. Curler [[Pål Trulsen]] served as flag bearer at the [[2006 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony|Opening Ceremonies]].

Four skiers will be selected for each individual event, and this selection will not be made public until shortly before the event starts. The Norwegian director of cross country skiing sport, [[Bjørnar Håkensmoen]], received "terribly many" reactions after he announced the team on [[21 January]], and the following day the newspaper [[Aftenposten]] asked him whether he "regretted" not selecting [[Petter Northug]], who had won both the double pursuit and the relay (as part of a team representing [[Strindheim IL]]) at the Norwegian Skiing Championship{{ref|AP22Jan}}.
===Curling===
{{Main|Curling at the 2006 Winter Olympics}}
The [[curling]] teams for men and women were nominated following the 2005 [[European Curling Championships]], where [[Pål Trulsen]] and his team won gold for men, while [[Dordi Nordby]] finished fourth with her team. The teams are as follows, with their positions at the 2005 ECC in brackets:
* Men: [[Pål Trulsen]] (skip), [[Lars Vågberg]] (third), [[Flemming Davanger]] (second), [[Bent Ånund Ramsfjell]] (lead), [[Torger Nergård]] (alternate)
* Women: [[Dordi Nordby]] (skip), [[Marianne Haslum]] (third), [[Marianne Rørvik]] (second), [[Camilla Holth]] (lead), [[Charlotte Hovring]] (alternate)
Trulsen's team are the reigning Olympic champions – at their first Olympic Games, while Nordby finished seventh in 2002 and fifth in [[1998 Winter Olympics|1998]]. {{ref|Nordby}}

{{Main|Freestyle skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics}}

{{Main|Nordic combined at the 2006 Winter Olympics}}
Norway's best individual position at the 2002 Olympics was [[Kristian Hammer]]'s eighth place in the Gundersen event, while Norway's team finished fifth{{ref|Sportsboken}}. However, Norway are defending [[Nordic skiing World Championships#Team event|World Champions]] at the team event after their gold in Oberstdorf in 2005, and Moan took silver and Hammer bronze at the [[2005 Nordic skiing World Championships|2005 World Championships]]. As of [[20 December]] [[2005]], Tande was second in the [[Nordic combined World Cup|World Cup]] standings, 110 points behind the leader [[Hannu Manninen]]. Moan was number three in the World Cup standings, a further 19 points adrift, and Hammer, Græsli and Klemetsen are all in the top 20. All five of the Nordic Combined athletes finished in the top ten in the sprint event at [[Ramsau am Dachstein]] on [[18 December]] [[2005]], with Moan and Græsli securing a 1–2 finish for Norway, and Tande won the mass start event (not an Olympic competition) the previous day, with Moan third and Hammer fourth.

==Trivia==
'''"Partly Norwegian" medal(ist)s'''
In the Norwegian media, two gold and one silver medal won by foreign athletes were humorously presented as part-Norwegian medals, since the medalists in question were of Norwegian descent or family:
* [[Snowboard cross|Women's snowboard cross]] gold medalist [[Tanja Frieden]] has a dual [[Switzerland at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Swiss]]-Norwegian citizenship (mother is Norwegian) and speaks the language.
* [[Skeleton at the 2006 Winter Olympics#Women's|Women's skeleton]] gold medalist [[Maya Pedersen-Bieri|Maya Pedersen]], also of [[Switzerland at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Switzerland]], lives in [[Øyer]], Norway, with her Norwegian husband, Snorre Pedersen.
* [[Speed skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics - Women's 1500 metres|Women's 1,500 m speed skating]] silver medalist [[Kristina Groves]], of [[Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Canada]], is of Norwegian descent (many relatives in [[Stjørdal]], Norway).
'''Grateful Canadian XC ski fans'''
A large group of [[Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Canadian]] winter sports fans was delighted and impressed by the Norwegian [[Norway at the 2006 Winter Olympics#Cross-country skiing|cross-country skiing]] sports director Bjørnar Håkensmoen's impulsive display of sportsmanship when he handed Canadian skier [[Sara Renner]] a [[ski pole]] only seconds after her own broke during the [[Cross country skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics#Team sprint, classical style 2|sprint relay]]. Renner and team mate [[Beckie Scott]] went on to win the silver medal (while the Norwegians placed fourth).{{ref|help-with-broken-pole}}
To show their appreciation, a group known as the "Independent Communications Dealers of Canada" mounted a "thank you" campaign called "Project Maple Syrup", organizing a shipment of 8,000 cans of [[maple syrup]] to Norway.{{ref|project-maple-syrup}}
