Cross-country king Klaebo equals Winter Olympics record with eighth gold
Cross-country skiing great Johannes Klaebo won the men's 10km interval start race on Friday to collect a record-equalling eighth Winter Olympics gold medal.
The Norwegian joins three compatriots on the same tally -- former cross-country skiers Marit Bjoergen and Bjoern Daehlie, and former biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen.
The 29-year-old will have the chance to break the record at the Milan-Cortina Games, with other events still to come.
On Friday, Klaebo clocked 20min 36.2sec to take gold ahead of France's Mathis Desloges, who was 4.9sec slower. Norwegian Einar Hedegart won bronze.
In addition to his eight golds, Klaebo has a silver and a bronze from the Beijing Winter Games and 15 world championship titles.
