Klæbo Wins Tour de Ski: Historic Fifth Title

CHOOSE FIVE. Johannes Hösflot Kläbo, 29, is historical.

The Norwegian breaks the record for most overall victories in the Tour de Ski.

– It was a nice day, he tells Sportbladet.

The Norwegian star has had a good start to the season. Among other things, he took his 100th World Cup victory early in the season.

And now Johannes Hösflot Kläbo has reached another milestone – which means that he is now historic. He breaks the record for most overall victories in the Tour de Ski with his five successes. In addition, he becomes Norway’s top skier in the Tour de Ski, beating Therese Johaug.

– It was nice that it was a good day and a nice ending.

The sovereign finished in 12th place in the mass start and finishing the giant climb up the Alpes Cermis, but had a big gap overall – and thus it didn’t matter that he was a minute behind the winner Mattis Stenshagen.

Do you have time to get stressed when the seconds are ticking away?

– No, I wasn’t. I got good seconds, and I was in 50-55 seconds and then I know that I will not lose the last 800 meters. I had good control the whole way

Not least a nice receipt with a month left until the Olympics.

Edvin Anger finished 12th in the overall standings, Truls Gisselman was 19th man and William Poromaa finished 23rd.
