Klaebo Secures Historic 100th World Cup Win

Five-time Olympic champion Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo achieved his 100th World Cup victory in cross-country skiing, marking him as a strong contender for next year's Winter Olympics. He is the second overall to reach this milestone. The upcoming Games are in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Five-time Olympic champion Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo once again demonstrated his dominance in the sport by securing his 100th World Cup victory in cross-country skiing. This milestone, achieved during the men's classic sprint in Trondheim, solidifies Klaebo's status as the favorite for next year's Winter Olympics.

The 29-year-old athlete from Norway is now the first male to reach this stunning landmark and the second overall, joining retired cross-country legend Marit Bjoergen, who achieved 114 World Cup wins before retiring in 2018.

In the latest competition, Norwegian Oskar Opstad Vike claimed second place, while Sweden's Alvar Myhlback finished third. The upcoming Winter Olympics will take place from February 6 to 22 in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
