A lot Norway’s supremacy stems from tradition as the cradle of Nordic skiing. Most medals came from cross-country and biathlon whiles ski jumper Anna Odine Stroem swept both the normal and large hills, and added a silver in the mixed team event. Jens Luraas Oftebro took both Nordic combined titles.
Norway, led by the cross-country skiing sensation Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, topped the medal table for the fourth straight Winter Games.
While Norway rules the 2026 medal table, its hockey teams are at home — a stark difference from its Nordic neighbors Sweden and Finland.
Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is officially 6-for-6: He's won gold in all six of his cross-country events at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Norway's 29-year-old Olympic legend entered rare air with one more signature kick on Saturday.
The ‘Norway Model” for youth sport sees no scorekeeping until 13. No rankings. No early “elite” tracks. No trophies. Does it work? Absolutely.
With his six medals at Milano Cortina, Johannes Høsflot Klaebo has broken and extended the previous record of eight for most career Winter Olympic gold medals.
Norway’s Klaebo capped off a historic performance, completing a sweep of all six men’s cross-country skiing events.
