The major hand behind Norway’s success is Norwegian cross-country skiing star Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, who etched his name into Olympic lore Sunday, February 15, winning his ninth career gold medal.
With his ninth gold, he has become the first Olympic athlete to secure this many medals in Winter Games history.
The 29-year-old anchored Norway’s victorious 4 x 7.5 kilometre relay team, securing his fourth gold of these Games alone.
He surpassed the previous record of eight golds shared by fellow Norwegians Marit Bjoergen, Bjorn Daehlie, and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen.
The medal hunt has not ended yet, as eight more finals are scheduled as the Games approach their second week.
