It was a scrambled start for Norway at the Winter Olympics as they accidentally ordered 15,000 eggs, but nevertheless they are aiming for 30 medals at the Pyeongchong Games which kick off on Friday (February 9).

When ordering eggs for the team, a zero was accidentally added to the order, resulting in a delivery of 15,000 eggs.

But the Chef de mission of the Norwegian Olympic team, Tore Ovrebo, was not overly concerned saying it was not a big issue.

The target of 30 medals surpasses the country&#39;s current record of 26 medals, set in 1994 at Lillehammer, Norway, and equaled at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.

Despite a population of just 5.2 million people, the Nordic country has often featured in the top three nations at the Winter Olympics, last ranking first at the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City in the United States with 13 gold medals.

In Sochi, only Russia won more medals than Norway with 33 medals in total.
