His grandfather gifted him his first pair of skis at two years old, marking the beginning of his journey in cross-country skiing.

His first World Cup victory came on February 18, 2017, in Otepää, Estonia, where he won the sprint freestyle. He concluded the pre-Olympic season by winning the “minitour” of Quebec and the Crystal Globe for the sprint, showcasing consistent performance. At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2017 in Lahti, Finland, he earned a bronze medal in the Men’s sprint competition. In June 2020, Klæbo signed a five-year contract with the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team to integrate cycling into his training regimen. He continues to share insights into his life as a top-level athlete through his YouTube vlog, which started in 2017 and has amassed a significant following.

He then won the overall 2017–18 World Cup, becoming the youngest male winner of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup title. Klæbo continued his success at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, adding two more gold medals in the team sprint classic and free sprint events, along with a silver in the 4 × 10km relay and a bronze in the 15km classical, bringing his total Olympic medal count to seven. He holds multiple records, including being the youngest male to win the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, Tour de Ski, a World Championship event, and an Olympic event in cross-country skiing.
