Johannes Klebo, a member of the Norwegian national team, has opened a new chapter in Olympic history.
İdman.Biz reports that the 29-year-old athlete has become the first athlete to win nine gold medals at the Winter Olympic Games. The record was formalized after the Norwegian team's victory in the 4x7.5 km relay within the framework of Milan-Cortina 2026.
Klebo surpassed previous record holders Bjørn Dæhlie, Marit Bjørgen, and Ole Einar Bjørndalen. Each of these athletes had eight gold medals to their name.
The Norwegian star still has a chance to increase his achievement. He has a team sprint and a marathon ahead of him.
The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games will last until February 22, and a total of 116 sets of medals will find their owners in the competition.
