Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo won a 10th gold medal Wednesday, crossing the line first in the men's cross-country team sprint at the Milan Cortina Games.

Klaebo, 29, joins American swimming legend Michael Phelps as the only Olympians to reach double-digit gold medals. Phelps claimed 23 golds during his storied career.

The Norwegian team of Klaebo and Einar Hedegart crossed the line 1.4 seconds ahead of the American duo of Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher, who claimed silver. Italy's Elia Barp and Federico Pellegrino won bronze.

"It's obviously very satisfying to make this happen," Klaebo said, according to The Associated Press. "The team sprint is one of the most fun events, but also one of the hardest."

Klaebo had already set the all-time record for most gold medals in the Winter Olympics. The Norwegian hasn't lost an event he's entered during the 2026 Games, adding five golds to his resume.

He still has the men's 50-kilometer mass start to come on his itinerary Saturday.
