In the men’s team sprint final at the Tesero Cross‑Country Skiing Stadium, Klæbo and Hedegart delivered a tactical and powerful performance, finishing in 18 minutes, 28.9 seconds to take the top spot.

The United States team of Gus Schumacher and Ben Ogden pushed hard but had to settle for silver, finishing 1.4 seconds behind, while Italy’s Federico Pellegrino and Elia Barp captured bronze.

A Fifth Medal of the Games

The victory marked Klæbo’s fifth gold medal at these Games, adding to an already dominant programme that included individual sprint, skiathlon, 10 km freestyle and relay titles. With this 10th career gold, Klæbo has now joined an elite group of Olympians as one of the most decorated Winter athletes ever.

At just 29 years old, Klæbo’s 2026 performance has been one of the standouts of these Games, with every race he entered resulting in gold so far.
His relentless consistency (particularly in sprint formats and team events) has propelled Norway to yet more cross‑country success, while also highlighting a resurgence in the U.S. men’s programme with its first Olympic cross‑country silver in decades.
