Norway's Klaebo wins sixth gold of Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics
Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Klaebo won his sixth gold medal of the Milan-Cortina Games on Saturday, extending his own all-time record for Winter Olympics titles to 11.
By taking the 50 kilometre mass start title, 29-year-old Klaebo also became the first athlete in history to win all six cross-country skiing races at one Games.
He led a Norwegian sweep of the medals ahead of Martin Nyenget and Emil Iversen.
Klaebo joins two other athletes to have won all of their events at a single Winter Olympics -- US speed skater Eric Heiden, who took five golds at the 1980 Lake Placid Games, and Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who won four in Salt Lake City in 2002.
The only athlete in Winter or Summer Games history with more Olympic titles than Klaebo is American swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 golds.
Klaebo won three golds at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games, and another two in Beijing in 2022.
He also has a silver and bronze medal from the Beijing Games.
