Winter Olympics: Klæbo Wins Again … and Sets Sights on Record
Norwegian cross-country star Johannes Høsflot Klæbo wins his second gold medal at the Milano Cortina games, closing in on the all-time Winter Olympics record.
On the fourth day of the Milano Cortina games, a question is becoming increasingly rhetorical: how can anyone stop Johannes Høsflot Klæbo? The short answer is – you can't. You simply battle for second place and hope to smile as he speeds past you.
On Tuesday, the Norwegian cross-country phenomenon did what he's been doing all week: he left the world's top athletes in his wake. Technique? Flawless. Tactics? Crushing. Does he have the power, speed, and special gear for climbing hills? He has it all. Klæbo cruised through the sprint classic rounds, overpowered his opponents in the final, and claimed his second gold medal of these games and his seventh gold medal overall, leaving him one shy of the all-time Winter Olympics record.
