Strange that Pons won't be in both Monte and Sweden, last time I spoke to him, he told me He would've entered the entire 2008 Champ :confused:

Thats a bit of a generalisation, Finland is often included when referring to Scandinavians..

'Scandinaviais a historical and geographical region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subregion) centred on the Scandinavian Peninsula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Peninsula) in Northern Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe) which includes the kingdoms of Norway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway) and Sweden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden). The other Nordic countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries), Denmark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark). Finland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland), Iceland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland) and the Faroe Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands) are also often included because of their close historic and cultural relations to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
In linguistics and cultural studies, the definition of Scandinavia is expanded to include the areas where Norse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norse) was spoken and where the North Germanic languages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_languages) are now dominant. As a linguistic and cultural concept, Scandinavia thus also includes Denmark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark), Iceland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland) and the Faroe Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands).
As a cultural and historical concept, Scandinavia can include Finland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland) as well (of the larger region Fenno-Scandinavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenno-Scandinavia)), often with reference to the nation's long history as a part of Sweden. Although Finland is culturally closely related to the other Scandinavian countries, Finns form a distinct linguistic and ethnic group, which speaks a Finno-Ugric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_languages) language of different origin from Scandinavian languages.'

Looks like a bit of a grey area!
