That this House congratulates Sweden's achievement in winning the Olympic Men's Ice Hockey competition and its neighbours Finland on winning the silver medal; and notes that, although the Nordic nations' population is 24.5 million, they achieved a total medal haul of 42, whilst sending 298 athletes with five nations in five teams to the Games compared with the population of Great Britain at 60 million, sending only 39 competitors and winning only one medal with three nations in one team.
