Which Norwegian skier won six gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics?

Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klæbo won six gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Klæbo achieved a clean sweep of all six men's cross-country skiing events at the Milano Cortina Games. His victories covered the programme's sprint, distance, relay and team events, making him the first athlete to win six gold medals at a single Winter Olympics.

The performance added six titles to the five Olympic golds he had already earned at PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022. It also lifted his career Winter Olympic gold total to 11, extending his position among the most successful Winter Olympians ever.

The name can be confused with other elite Norwegian skiers, including Harald Østberg Amundsen and Simen Hegstad Krüger. Klæbo is especially associated with explosive sprinting, but his 2026 sweep demonstrated unusual range across both short and long cross-country races.
