Klaebo Sets Winter Olympics Record with Ninth Gold Medal

Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klaebo has etched his name deeper into Olympic history, capturing his ninth career gold medal and setting a new Winter Games record for the most victories by any athlete in the sport. The milestone medal extends Klaebo’s lead atop the all-time cross-country standings and underscores Norway’s enduring dominance in Nordic events.

The latest triumph adds to a résumé that already featured a string of sprint and distance victories across previous Olympics. With nine golds, Klaebo moves ahead of fellow Norwegian legends and establishes a benchmark that future Winter Olympians will chase.

The achievement further cements Norway’s position as the foremost cross-country nation, continuing a tradition of excellence that has produced a steady stream of champions. Klaebo’s record-setting performance will likely stand as one of the defining storylines of the current Winter Games and offers a compelling narrative of sustained excellence under the highest level of global competition.
