Norway’s Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo wins 9th gold medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter Olympics record

  • On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo led Norway to victory in the men's 4x7.5km relay at the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium, Milan Cortina Games.
  • Norway built its advantage as Martin Loewstroem Nyenget and Einar Hedegart pushed the team ahead by the second leg, aided by the course freezing overnight Saturday.
  • Taking the anchor leg, Klaebo extended his lead to secure first while Team France finished second and Italy took bronze.
  • The result moves Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo into sole possession of the Winter Games gold record, surpassing Norwegian cross-country skiers Marit Bjoergen, Bjorn Daehlie, and biathlete Ole Einar Bjorndalen with nine golds and 11 Olympic medals.
  • Looking ahead, Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is scheduled to compete again on Feb. 18 in the men's team sprint and on Feb. 21 in the men's 50km mass start, aiming to add to his four gold medals.
