I don't know where else to ask this question (sorry), but I've always wondered why Spain wasn't more present in winter sports

Spain really underperforms at both summer and winter games compared to other European countries I feel

They actually get more than us.  Half of the Pyrenees & even the top of Sierra Nevada way down South.

As with every Olympics, there is a proliferation of graphics showing how the European Union would have won the Olympics. I want to try to simulate the qualifiers in the case of a single European team (using the World Cup as trials or other parameters) and see what really happens.

It will be interesting to go back to 1st day and enjoy olympics again.

I mean how many results will be same or different.

Now I see that China originally placed 3 in the medal table in 2022, but 2 years later they fell to 4 places behind the USA. And not because of any DSQ of their own, but because the USA won 1 gold medal more in team event in figure skating after Valieva's disqualification from Russia. Russia then lost 1 place and dropped to 3. No one remembers that now, so maybe 3rd, 4th, or 5th place really doesn't matter that much? Even in 2014, Russia won the medal table, but a few years later, they fell behind Norway after the series DSQ for Sochi 2014 and now basically no one remembers it. It's also true that there's much more competitions/disciplines now than some time before and basically just every top country is setting own records, without maybe a Canada. It may also be significant that there are no Russians and there have been over 30 medals on recently OG... Someone had to take over these medals and in 99% of cases they were the sport powers mentioned earlier: NOR, ITA, SUI, NED, FRA, GER, USA, etc.
