Norway's Klaebo wins 9th gold medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter
Olympics record
TESERO, Italy (AP) --- Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won a ninth gold
medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter Games record, at the Milan
Cortina Olympics.
The 29?year?old anchored Sunday's 4 x 7.5-kilometer relay in the men's
competition for his fourth gold of the 2026 Games.
He had shared the record with three retired Norwegian athletes, Marit Bjoergen
and Bjorn Daehlie in cross-country skiing and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen in the
biathlon. He now stands alone at the top. Klaebo put in a flawless but
casual-looking race, slowing down before the finish to wave to cheering
supporters before finishing in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 24.5 seconds. France
continued its strong performance for second place, 22.2 seconds behind.
And roared on by the home crowd, Federico Pellegrino in his final season for
Italy, took bronze, with a 47.9 second lag.
Despite a strong start, the United States finished sixth behind Finland and
Canada.
