I get your point, but there are perhaps a dozen countries that have concentrated on those sports for a long time, whereas it is mainly the USA and Canada that jumped all over the X-Sports in the beginning.
I can understand some of the Asian countries closing the gap simply given their populations, but why exactly are the Scandinavians going to start winning snowboarding medals?
Because far more Scandinavians will get into the X-Sports as they grow in popularity.
