Norway’s Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo completed his historic gold medal sweep of the men’s cross-country skiing events on Saturday by winning his sixth race and setting the record for the most golds by one athlete in a single Winter Olympics.

Klaebo’s victory in the 50-kilometer mass start race shattered the nearly 50-year record set by American speed skater Eric Heiden, who won five golds in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.

All of Heiden’s wins were in individual races and two of Klaebo’s have come in team events, so Heiden’s record for individual wins still stands.

“It feels amazing,” Klaebo said. “To crown everything here with a 50K, it’s unbelievable. In Norway, we say that if you’re gonna become a man, you need to win the 50K and today we did, so it’s a perfect way to end two perfect weeks.”

The solid gold performance matched the feat he accomplished at last year’s world championships in Trondheim, Norway, when he won all six events.

Klaebo’s teammates, Martin Loewstroem Nyenget, took silver, and Emil Iversen, won bronze in a Norwegian sweep.

The three Norwegians had a lead before the halfway mark and continued to build the gap on their chasers.

WOMEN’S BOBSLED

Laura Nolte didn’t let this lead get away. She’s golden, again.

And Kaillie Humphries Armbruster, in perhaps her Olympic bobsled finale, found her way to the medal stand for a record-tying sixth time.

Nolte is now the back-to-back two-woman Olympic bobsled champion, holding off German teammate Lisa Buckwitz to grab gold.

Nolte — the winner of the last four World Cup two-woman titles — cemented her status as the sport’s current queen, teaming with Deborah Levi to win her second consecutive two-woman gold medal by finishing four runs in 3 minutes, 48.46 seconds.

Buckwitz, with Neele Schuten in her sled, was second in 3:48.99. Humphries Armbruster and Jasmine Jones — two mothers in the same sled for the U.S. — finished third in 3:49.21. It was the sixth Olympic medal for Humphries Armbruster, tying monobob gold medalist Elana Meyers Taylor for the most by any woman in the sport’s history.

Also for the U.S., Kaysha Love and Azaria Hill finished fifth in 3:49.71. Meyers Taylor and Jadin O’Brien finished tied for seventh in 3:50.49.

Germany now has six bobsled medals in these Olympics, while the U.S. has three and the rest of the world has zero.

CURLING

The Canadian men brushed aside earlier accusations of cheating and beat Britain for Olympic gold in curling.

Brad Jacobs’ team defeated Bruce Mouat’s all-Scottish squad 9-6 inside Cortina’s historic ice arena to give curling powerhouse Canada it’s only gold of the Olympics in the sport.

It’s Canada’s first gold in men’s curling since the 2014 Sochi Games, when they also beat Britain in the final with Jacobs as the skip. This is his first Olympics since then — he lost in the Canadian Olympic trials for 2018 and 2022.

The British men have still not won Olympic gold since the inaugural Winter Games in 1924 in Chamonix.

Switzerland defeated Norway for bronze on Friday.

The Canadians last week were the subject of a controversy and a profanity-laced rant that got attention far beyond the ice when several players were accused of double-touching the rock, a rules violation.

Top-ranked Canada beat the United States for the bronze medal in the women’s competition earlier Saturday after being upset by Sweden in the semifinals.

Rachel Homan’s team won 10-7 to deny the American women their first medal in the event.

WOMEN’S BIATHLON

In the final biathlon event of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, France’s Oceane Michelon overcame a missed target in the final shooting stage in the 12.5-kilometer mass start race to take gold.

In heavy snow and low visibility, Michelon left the range in fourth place but moved ahead on the ski trails to complete the five laps in 37 minutes, 18.1 seconds. She said she was thrilled to have her first victory at the Olympics.

Michelon’s teammate, Julia Simon, also moved up in the final 2.5 kilometers, crossing the finish line 6.6 seconds back and securing the silver medal. Czech biathlete Tereza Vobornikova had to settle for bronze after being overtaken by the French powerhouse team, finishing 7.4 seconds behind Michelon.

MEN’S SKICROSS

Freeskiers Simone Deromedis and Federico Tomasoni added to the Olympic host country’s medal haul with a 1-2 finish in the Italian Alps on the penultimate day of the Milan Cortina Games.

Alex Fiva of Switzerland took bronze.

SKI MOUNTAINEERING

Emily Harrop and Thibault Anselmet combined to win the mixed relay for France as part of ski mountaineering’s Olympic debut.

Each athlete completed two laps, tagging the other after every loop. Harrop and Anselmet finished the Stelvio course in a time of 26 minutes, 57.44 seconds, holding off the Swiss team of Marianne Fatton and Jon Kistler by 11.86 seconds. Spanish racers Ana Alonso Rodriguez and Oriol Cardona Coll captured the bronze.

WOMEN’S SPEEDSKATING

Mia Manganello of the United States won the bronze medal in the mass start race.

She came in behind Marijke Groenewoud of Netherlands, who won gold, and Ivanie Biondin of Canada, who took the silver medal.

MEN’S HOCKEY

Finland won the bronze medal in men’s hockey at the Olympics for a third consecutive time with NHL players participating, beating Slovakia 6-1 on Saturday night.

Erik Haula scored two goals and Joel Armia had a goal and two assists for Finland, which also got bronze in Sochi in 2014 and in Vancouver in 2010, and left Turin in 2006 with silver.
