Norway's Johannes Hosflot Klaebo has tied the all-time Winter Olympics gold medal record by winning his eighth gold in cross-country skiing at the Milan Cortina Games. The 29-year-old secured victory in the men's 10 kilometer interval-start race on Friday, marking his third gold medal at these 2026 Olympics.

Klaebo now shares the record with three retired Norwegian athletes: Marit Bjoergen and Bjoern Daehlie in cross-country skiing, and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen in biathlon. His dominance in the sport has been remarkable, with this latest victory coming in a highly competitive field at the Italian venue of Tesero.

This achievement cements Klaebo's status as one of the greatest Winter Olympians of all time. The Norwegian's consistency and ability to perform under pressure have been key to his success, as he continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in cross-country skiing at the highest level.
