Klæbo Equals Olympic Gold Record in Stunning Team Sprint Triumph
History has just been rewritten on snow and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is once again at the center of it.
The Norwegian superstar has captured his fifth gold medal of the Milano Cortina Winter Games, this time in the men’s cross-country team sprint and in doing so he has equalled the record for most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics. It is a moment that cements his status not just as a champion, but as one of the greatest Winter Olympians the sport has ever seen.
Racing alongside teammate Einar Hedegart, Klæbo delivered exactly what the world has come to expect from him, speed under pressure, tactical intelligence and a devastating finishing kick. The team sprint is unforgiving. It demands endurance, perfect timing and seamless teamwork. Athletes rotate in high-intensity bursts and one small mistake can cost everything. But when the final leg arrived, Klæbo looked composed, controlled and ready to make history.

And he did.
With this victory, Klæbo now stands at ten career Olympic gold medals. That number alone is staggering. Cross-country skiing has always been one of the most physically punishing events at the Winter Games. It tests the lungs, the legs and the mind. To dominate once is impressive. To dominate across multiple Olympics is extraordinary.
For Norway, this win reinforces its legacy as a powerhouse in cross-country skiing. The nation has long treated the sport as part of its cultural identity. But even by Norway’s high standards, what Klæbo is achieving feels rare. He is not just winning races, he is defining an era.
The bigger question now is what comes next. Can he go even further before these Games conclude? Can he break the record outright? The pressure will only intensify, but pressure has never seemed to slow him down.
For young athletes watching around the world, this is a masterclass in sustained excellence. For fans, it is a reminder that we are witnessing history in real time.
Stay with us as the Winter Olympics continue to unfold, because if this Games has shown us anything, it is that greatness does not wait, it races ahead.
