Six races, six golds - Klaebo's historic Olympics

Six races, six golds - Klaebo's historic Olympics Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, Norway's king of cross-country skiing, broke the record for the most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics with his sixth of the Games. Klaebo led a Norwegian sweep of the podium in the 50km mass start classic, with team-mates Martin Loewstroem Nyenget and Emil Iversen taking silver and bronze respectively. The 29-year-old finished the brutal distance in two hours six minutes 44.8 seconds, 8.9secs ahead of Nyenget who takes his third medal of the Games. "It's been crazy, it's a dream come true," Klaebo told BBC Sport. "I really think this Olympics has been perfect. Being able to crown the Olympics with the 50km was unbelievable." Klaebo breaks the previous record of five golds from a single Games, held by American speed skater Eric Heiden since the Lake Placid Olympics of 1980. It also extends his own record for most Winter Olympic golds to 11, while he becomes the first athlete to win all six cross-country events at one Games. Only US swimming great Michael Phelps, who won 23 gold medals, has more Olympic titles to his name. Born in Oslo, Klaebo moved to Trondheim - a haven of cross-country skiing trails - as a young child, a move that has seen him become the greatest to ever do the sport. No other man, active or retired, comes close to his record of 116 World Cup wins, while he is also a 15-time world champion, winning all six titles at last year's edition on home snow in Trondheim. "After the world championships last year, we knew that it was possible, but to be able to do it, it's hard to find the right words," he told reporters. "[There were] so many emotions when I'm crossing the finish line." His sixth Olympic gold at Milan-Cortina adds to the titles he had won earlier in the Games in the skiathlon, sprint classic, 10km interval start free, 4x7.5km relay and the team sprin The snow fell in whispers over the Italian Alps, but history thundered across the tracks. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, one man turned frozen trails into golden scripture. Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo — Norway’s tireless engine, its quiet storm — did what no Winter Olympian had ever done before. Six races. Six gold medals. A perfect symphony carved in snow. The final note came in the most unforgiving event of them all: the 50km mass start classic. Two hours, six minutes, 44.8 seconds of relentless glide and grind. Muscles screaming. Lungs burning in the thin alpine air. Behind him, compatriots Martin Loewstroem Nyenget and Emil Iversen completed a Norwegian sweep of the podium — silver and bronze shining beneath a flag already stitched deep into Olympic lore. But it was Klaebo who crossed the line alone, arms raised not in arrogance but disbelief. “It’s been crazy, it’s a dream come true,” he said, breathless not just from distance, but from destiny fulfilled. With that sixth gold, he shattered a record that had stood untouched since 1980 Winter Olympics, when American speed skating legend Eric Heiden captured five gold medals in a single Games. For decades, that mark seemed untouchable — a relic of Olympic mythology. Klaebo did not just match it. He surpassed it. Six races. Six victories. Perfection in motion. The path to that final triumph wound through every discipline cross-country skiing could offer. He conquered the skiathlon with tactical brilliance. He exploded through the sprint classic with electric acceleration. He controlled the 10km interval start free with icy precision. He anchored Norway’s 4x7.5km relay team with authority. He claimed the team sprint. And then, as if unsatisfied, he closed the Games by mastering the marathon of snow — the 50km. No cross-country skier had ever won all six events at a single Olympics. Until now.
