Klaebo Anchors Norway to Relay Gold and a Record Ninth Olympic Title
On February 15, 2026, at the cross-country venue in Tesero, in the Province of Trento in Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige region, Norway won the men's 4 x 7.5 km relay in cross-country skiing at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in 1:04:24.5, and anchor-leg skier Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo collected his ninth Olympic gold medal, more than any athlete in Winter Olympic history. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) reported the race.
Norway's team was Emil Iversen, Martin Loewstroem Nyenget, Einar Hedegart, and Klaebo. Handed a lead of about 12 seconds on the final leg, Klaebo controlled the leg and stretched the margin to 22.2 seconds at the finish. France took silver, 22.2 seconds back, and host nation Italy won bronze.
It was the fourth gold medal of these Games for Klaebo, 29. With three golds at PyeongChang 2018 and two at Beijing 2022, his career total reached nine, moving him clear of the eight-gold mark shared by fellow Norwegians Bjoern Daehlie, Marit Bjoergen, and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, and making him the first athlete in Winter Olympic history to win nine gold medals.
