Good morning everyone.
It’s hard to believe we’re nearly at the end of the Winter Olympics. Wednesday’s action brought to dramatic hockey games in which both Canada and the US survived in overtime.
But the big story of the Games so far has to be the dominance of Norwegian cross country skier Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo.
The Norwegian on Wednesday won his fifth gold medal of this year’s games and his 10th overall, a new record for the Winter Olympics.
Klaebo went what the kids would call “viral” earlier
in the Games with that insane climb in the men’s individual spring last week. Just look at this:
He used that immense power again on Wednesday to push Norway to gold in the men’s team sprint, beating out the Americans in the process.
Norwegians actually make up four of the five athletes on the all-time Winter Olympic medal list, with three of them being cross country skiers.
There is now one more men’s cross country skiing race left in the Olympics: the 50km mass start casual on Saturday. Will Klaebo make it a sixth gold?
