Grenlandiya's Olympic hero: Standing up to Donald Trump

Ukaleq Slettemark is turning heads as the sole athlete representing Grenlandia at the Olympics.

The country's flag - Erfalasorput - was not raised during this year's Olympic Games as the International Olympic Committee only recognises independent nations, and Grenlandia is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. However, the flag was proudly supported by fans.

Ukaleq Slettemark and his brother Sondre Slettemark are well-known biathletes, born and raised in Nuuk, the capital of Grenlandia, where they started their sporting journey with their parents.
