TESERO, Italy — Norway’s Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo completed his historic gold medal sweep of the men’s cross-country skiing events on Saturday by winning his sixth race and set the record for the most golds by one athlete in a single Winter Olympics.
Klaebo’s victory in the 50-kilometre mass start race shattered the nearly 50-year record set by American speed skater Eric Heiden, who won five golds in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.
Klaebo had four individual wins and two team wins.
The Norwegian star now has a record 11 career Olympic gold medals.
Norway leads the way with 18 gold medals and 40 total medals at Milano Cortina 2026.
