| Updated on 22 March 2026 | |
During the 2019–20 World Cup season, Klæbo became the most successful male sprinter in World Cup history in terms of individual race victories and set a new record for the most overall sprint titles, with 4.[8] He is currently the most successful male overall race winner in the competition's history.[9][10]
Klæbo won three gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics, in his debut Olympic appearance.[11][12] As of 2026, he is a 13-time Olympic medalist, with eleven gold. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, he broke the records for the most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics and most career gold medals won by any Winter Olympic athlete, and now trails only swimmer Michael Phelps on the list of athletes with the most all-time Olympic gold medals.[13]
Career
2015–16: World Cup debut
Klæbo made his debut in the World Cup in the 2015–16 season in the classic sprint in Drammen, Norway on 3 February 2016. He finished 15th in the race.[14]
2016–17: Breakthrough season
In the following 2016–17 season, Klæbo achieved his first World Cup podium after finishing third in the classic sprint in Ruka, Finland, on 26 November 2016.[15] Later in the 2016–17 season, on 18 February 2017, Klæbo got his first World Cup victory when he won the sprint freestyle in Otepää, Estonia.[16] He competed at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2017 in Lahti, Finland, winning a bronze medal at the Men's sprint competition.[17] On 17 March 2017 in Quebec City he won his first small crystal globe in the Sprint World Cup and also won the Helvetia U23 overall ranking after winning the end-of-season mini tour. He finished his second World Cup season with three victories.
2017–18: Olympic success and World Cup overall
Klæbo participated in his first Olympics at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. Before the Olympics, he had nine victories in the 2017–18 World Cup.[18] He made his Olympic debut by finishing 10th in the men's skiathlon event.[19] On 13 February 2018 he became an Olympic champion after winning the men's sprint. This victory made him the youngest ever male to win an Olympic event in cross-country skiing.[20] He skied the last leg on the Norwegian teams that won both the 4 × 10-kilometre relay and the men's team sprint.[21][22] A steep hill on the Olympic course was dubbed "Klæbo-bakken" ("Klæbo hill") by Norwegian media after Klæbo overtook his competitors several times in this climb throughout the games.[23][24] With three gold medals, he tied with French biathlete Martin Fourcade for most gold medals won in the games.[25]
Klæbo won the overall 2017–18 World Cup with a gap of 119 points down to Dario Cologna, making him the youngest ever winner of the World Cup.[26] He also beat the record for the most sprint victories in a single World Cup season, with seven wins.
2018–19: Tour de Ski, World Championships, and World Cup overall
Klæbo won the 2018–19 Tour de Ski in his first appearance in the Tour. 22 years and 76 days old, he became the youngest skier to win the overall Tour de Ski.[27]
Klæbo won three gold medals at the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria. He started the championships with a World Championship title in the individual sprint. By winning the sprint, Klæbo became the youngest male winner of a World Championship race in cross-country skiing.[28] He finished 30th in the skiathlon after not keeping up at the classic part of the race. The result at the skiatlon made Klæbo give away his spot at the 15-kilometre classic to Sjur Røthe. Together with Emil Iversen, Klæbo won the team sprint after beating Russia's Alexander Bolshunov in the last stages of the final leg. On 1 March, Klæbo raced the 4th leg on Norway's team who won the 4 × 10-kilometre relay on the second-to-last event of the championships.
Klæbo won the overall 2018–19 World Cup[29] and extended his own record of most sprint victories in a single World Cup season, with eight wins.[circular reference] He also leveled Emil Jönsson's all-time World Cup record of most sprint victories, with 16 wins, and tied with Emil Jönsson and Ola Vigen Hattestad for the most overall sprint titles, with 3.[circular reference]
2019–20: Hand injury and fourth World Cup sprint title
After a shorter season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[30][31][32] as well as a hand injury resulting in a short absence from competing,[33][34][non-primary source needed] Klæbo placed second overall in the 2019–20 World Cup.[35] He also placed third in the 2019–20 Tour de Ski[36] and achieved his best end-of-season ranking in the distance discipline, placing sixth.[37] Klæbo also won his fourth overall sprint title, thereby setting the record for most overall sprint titles in history.[38] He also overtook Emil Jönsson's all-time World Cup record of most individual sprint victories, extending his own record to 24.[circular reference]
In June 2020, Klæbo announced that he had signed a five-year contract with the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team, fitting in cycle training and racing around his skiing commitments.[39]
2020–21: Pandemic-disrupted World Cup and World Championship success
Klæbo enjoyed a strong start to the 2020–21 season at the Nordic Opening in Ruka, taking second in the opening sprint competition before winning the 15 km classic and clinching the Ruka Triple overall after the pursuit.[40] However, the next World Cup stop on home snow in Lillehammer was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the race programme of Klæbo and his team-mates was further disrupted after the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish teams elected not to compete in the subsequent World Cup rounds in December due to concerns regarding the risks of the pandemic[41] and then also withdrew from the Tour de Ski after the three Nordic nations' request for the race to be shortened were refused by the International Ski Federation.[42] Whilst the rest of the Norwegian team returned to the World Cup circuit at the first post-Tour meeting in Lahti, Klæbo elected to return at the next round in Falun at the end of January.[43] In Falun he finished second in the 15 km classic mass start, being pipped in the final sprint by Bolshunov,[44] before taking the win in the classic sprint.[45]
At the World Championships in Oberstdorf, Klæbo started his campaign by successfully defending his title in the sprint, leading home team-mates Erik Valnes and Håvard Solås Taugbøl in a clean sweep of the podium positions for Norway, becoming the first man to win consecutive sprint world titles and the second skier overall, after fellow Norwegian Marit Bjørgen.[46] He took his second gold medal of the championships in the team sprint alongside Valnes, overcoming a 4.3 second deficit going into the final lap of the race and attacking on the final climb to secure the win by 1.68 seconds.[47] Klæbo secured another gold in the relay, where he took the anchor leg after team-mates Pål Golberg, Hans Christer Holund and Emil Iversen, holding off Bolshunov for the win.[48] However, he missed out on a fourth title at the worlds when he was disqualified in the 50 km classic after being first to cross the finish line, as he was judged to have obstructed Bolshunov in the final sprint, handing the victory to team-mate Iversen.[49] At the last meeting of the World Cup season in Engadin, Klæbo finished second in the 15 km behind Bolshunov[50] and fourth in the 50 km freestyle pursuit.[51] He finished third in the season's overall World Cup standings.[52]
He was awarded the Holmenkollen Medal in 2022.[53]
2025–2026: Continued Olympic success and record-breaking achievements
Klaebo won the men's overall and sprint championships in the 2024–25 FIS Cross-Country World Cup. At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2025, he became the first individual to win all six cross country skiing events at a single world championship competition. He was also the first to sweep all events since Yelena Välbe, who won all five cross country skiing events at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1997. Klaebo's victories left him with a career total of 15 career World Championships gold medals, second only to Marit Bjørgen.[54] During the 2025–26 FIS Cross-Country World Cup, Klaebo became the first male athlete to amass 100 World Cup victories, and the second athlete to do so after Bjørgen.[55] He also won the 2025–26 Tour de Ski, becoming the first cross-country skier to win the Tour De Ski on five occasions.[56]
Klæbo won his seventh Olympic gold medal on 10 February 2026, earning gold in the men's sprint as he finished in the final with a time of 3:39.74, having already won gold at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games in the men's 20km skiathlon.[57][58] He then won his 8th Olympic gold medal on 13 February in the 10 km freestyle.[59] On 15 February, he won his ninth Olympic gold medal as part of Norway's team in the men's 4 × 7.5 kilometre relay, breaking a record for the most gold medals won by a Winter Olympic athlete in history.[60] On February 18, Klæbo won the 10th Olympic gold medal in the team sprint with teammate Einar Hedegart. Klæbo took his 11th Olympic gold medal on 21 February in the men's 50 km classical race.
Klaebo won the gold medal in all six men's cross-country skiing events at the 2026 Winter Olympics, thereby becoming the first athlete to win six gold medals at a single Winter Olympic Games.[61] With a career total of 11 gold medals at the end of the 2026 Games, Klaebo holds more gold medals than any other Winter Olympian, and among all Olympians trails only swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 gold medals. Among Winter Olympians, Klaebo's 13 overall medals trails only biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen and Bjørgen, the latter of whom holds the record with 15 medals.[62]
Returning to the 2025–26 World Cup competition following the Olympics, Klaebo clinched the World Cup overall season title for the sixth time, tying the record held by Bjorn Daehlie. He also won his eighth sprint title, adding to his own record for most sprint titles.[63] With a win in the final race of the season, Klaebo won his first distance title,[64] becoming the first male cross-country skier since Thomas Alsgaard in 1997–1998 to sweep the overall, sprint, and distance titles.[63]
In the spring 2026 he was awarded the Marca Leyenda award given by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca to the best sport professionals in history.[65]

Personal life
Klæbo was born in Oslo, the capital of Norway. He lived there until he was five years old before he and his family moved to Trondheim. He grew up there and still lives there today. Klæbo is very close to his family and spends a lot of time with them.[67] His father, Haakon Klæbo, is his manager and his grandfather, Kåre Høsflot, is his coach.[68]
Outside sports, Klæbo and his younger brother, Ola, run a YouTube channel where they upload weekly vlogs about Klæbo's everyday life as an athlete. He started his channel because he wanted people to see what cross-country skiers do outside competitions and off-season. His siblings help him out by editing and translating the videos. As of October 2019, Klæbo has over 102,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel and totals over 12 million views from over 100 videos.[69]
He was a part of Norway's elite sprint team until mid-2019, when he became a part of Norway's men's elite allround team.[70] He switched back to the elite sprint team before the 2020–21 FIS Cross-Country World Cup season.[71]
In March 2019, Klæbo was sentenced to 16 days of non-custodial prison and was fined 10,000 Norwegian kroner for causing a collision on 12 December 2018 that injured a twelve-year-old girl. He allegedly failed to notice that a car had stopped at a pedestrian crossing, then drove into the car, which in turn hit the girl. He was also disqualified from skiing for nine months.[72]
