Skjevdal’s gold in the men’s biathlon mass start gives Norway 17 gold medals at these Games, setting a new record for most at a single Winter Olympics. Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has played a key role,

The 29‑year‑old, racing with Einar Hedegart, won the men's cross-country team sprint for his fifth gold at the 2026 Games, clocking 18 minutes, 28.9 seconds.

While he has more gold medals than any other Winter Olympian in history, Klaebo is not the record-holder for overall medals in the Winter Olympics. Fellow Norwegian skier Marit Bjoergren holds the record with 15 medals at the winter games, followed by Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (14) and Dutch speed skater Ireen Wust (13).

Norway's Atle Lie McGrath saw his gold-medal hopes slip away in the Olympic slalom and decided to send his ski poles sailing along with them.

Whether on the ground or in the air, the Norwegians Olympians exude technical prowess, endless enthusiasm and speed. The result is Olympic hardware — 37 medals at the Milano-Cortina Games.

Norway's dominance in cross-country skiing and other winter sports at the Milan Cortina Olympics comes down to depth, development and a winning culture built over decades.
