Three time Olympic gold medal winner Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is a Norwegian cross country skier and holds four World Cup sprint titles.
Despite being just 23 years old, Klæbo already has a hugely successful career behind him. Just a year after his debut season in 2015/16 he finished on the podium at the World Cup in 2016, when he came third in the classic sprint event in Ruka. In the same season he took home the gold medal at the sprint freestyle event in Estonia, and won yet another medal at the World Ski Championships in Finland. The following year Klæbo qualified to represent Norway at the Winter Olympics, after winning nine times during the 2017/18 World Cup. At the Olympics in South Korea he won three gold medals, including in the men’s sprint, the relay and the men’s team sprint and eventually won the overall 2017/18 World Cup as the youngest skier ever to take the title. Klæbo then went on to win the 2018/19 Tour de Ski in his first ever appearance at the competition, again setting the record as the youngest ever winner of the Tour. Amazingly he then won three gold medals at the 2019 World Championships in Austria, and won his second World Cup title.
A silver in the 2019/20 World Cup and a bronze at the Tour de Ski show that Klæbo has no intention of slowing down, with his unstoppable rise to the top set to continue for many years to come.
