"Johannes Hsflot Klbo led Norway to victory in the men's cross-country team sprint on Wednesday to claim his fifth win at Milano Cortina Olympics and a record 10th Winter Olympic gold medal. Alongside Einar Hedegart in the final, the Norway duo saw off the United States, clocking 18 minutes, 28.9 seconds. Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher were 1.4 seconds behind for the silver, while Italy's Elia Barp and Federico Pellegrino took bronze, 3.3 seconds back."
"Klbo has already surpassed the record of his compatriots Marit Bjrgen, Ole Einar Bjrndalen and Bjrn Daehlie, who had won eight golds before Milano Cortina. The 29-year-old has a chance of another landmark at the 50km classic race on Saturday, where he could break Eric Heiden's record for the most gold medals in a single Winter Olympic Games. Wednesday's latest gold for Klbo adds to the three he won in Pyeongchang in 2018"
