Norway at the 2004 Summer Olympics : ウィキペディア英語版 | Norway at the 2004 Summer Olympics
Norway competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. This was the nation's twenty-fourth appearance at the Summer Olympics, except for the sparsely attended 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of the United States boycott. With the absence of women's football and handball teams, Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games since the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. A total of 53 athletes, 36 men and 17 women, competed only in 12 different sports. There was only a single competitor in badminton, swimming, taekwondo, weightlifting, and wrestling. Sixteen athletes from the Norwegian team had previously competed in Sydney, including Olympic silver medalists Kjersti Plätzer in women's race walk and Olaf Tufte in men's single sculls. At age 51, rifle shooting veteran Harald Stenvaag became the second Norwegian in Summer Olympic history to participate in six Games, tying a record set by sailor Magnus Konow. For being the oldest and most sophisticated member of the team, Stenvaag was appointed by the committee to carry the Norwegian flag in the opening ceremony on his final Olympic bid. Other notable Norwegian athletes featured kayak pair and world champions Nils Olav Fjeldheim and Eirik Verås Larsen, yachting siblings Christoffer and Siren Sundby, and breaststroke swimmer Alexander Dale Oen, the youngest of the team at age 19. Despite being the smallest team in history by nearly three decades, Norway left Athens with a remarkable tally of six medals, five golds and one bronze, being considered the nation's most successful Summer Olympics since 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2004 Athens: Medal Tally )〕 Two Norwegian athletes won Olympic gold medals for the first time in history: Andreas Thorkildsen in men's javelin throw and Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå in women's mountain biking. Meanwhile, Larsen became the most decorated Norwegian athlete of the Games with two medals, including a gold in the men's K-1 1000 metres. ==Medalists==
