Johannes Klæbo, the outstanding Norwegian skier, has made history at the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games by winning all six events he competed in, becoming the first athlete to achieve six gold medals in a single Winter Olympic Games. His remarkable feat surpassed a 46-year-old record previously held by American speed skater Eric Heiden, who won five golds at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.
