TESERO, Italy (AP) — Outside the Olympic cross-country stadium in this Dolomite mountain town, Norwegian flags have been draped over the railings like bunting on a national holiday. Fans from the Scandinavian country have set up camp nearby and kept a live tally of medals won by their athletes at the Milan Cortina Games.
Norway, led by the cross-country skiing sensation Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, topped the medal table for the fourth straight Winter Games.
Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is officially 6-for-6: He's won gold in all six of his cross-country events at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Norway's 29-year-old Olympic legend entered rare air with one more signature kick on Saturday.
Johannes Klaebo won all six cross-country skiing events at this year's Winter Olympics, the surpassing Eric Heiden's five golds in 1980.
With his six medals at Milano Cortina, Johannes Høsflot Klaebo has broken and extended the previous record of eight for most career Winter Olympic gold medals.
While Norway rules the 2026 medal table, its hockey teams are at home — a stark difference from its Nordic neighbors Sweden and Finland.
Norway’s Klaebo capped off a historic performance, completing a sweep of all six men’s cross-country skiing events.
The ‘Norway Model” for youth sport sees no scorekeeping until 13. No rankings. No early “elite” tracks. No trophies. Does it work? Absolutely.
