Johannes Høsflot Klæbo

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, born on October 22, 1996, is a remarkable Norwegian cross-country skier representing Byåsen IL. He has made history as the youngest male skier to achieve significant milestones in the sport, including winning the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, the Tour de Ski, a World Championship event, and an Olympic event.

During the 2019–20 World Cup season, Klæbo established himself as the most successful male sprinter in World Cup history, achieving a record number of individual race victories and securing four overall sprint titles. His dominance in the sport has made him the most successful male overall race winner in the competition's history.

Klæbo's Olympic debut at the 2018 Winter Olympics was nothing short of spectacular, where he clinched three gold medals. As of 2026, he has become a thirteen-time Olympic medalist, with eleven of those being gold. His performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics set new records for the most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics and the most career gold medals by any Winter Olympic athlete, placing him just behind swimmer Michael Phelps in the all-time rankings.
