Sonja Henie, Mats Zuccarello og Espen Knudsen er nok blant de mest kjente idrettsutøvere fra Norge i USA/Canada. Av nyere idrettsutøvere nevnes i fleng Suzann Pettersen, Viktor Hovland og Casper Ruud. Det er noen utøvere som også er kjent gjennom X-Games, men de husker jeg ikke navn på. Av musikere ser jeg noen har nevnt M2M, Fra Lippo Lippi, men her bør også producerne Stargate og Cashmere Cat nevnes. Kul side da 👍
