The 29-year-old Norwegian star separated from the field with a punishing late uphill run to finish in 3 minutes, 39.8 seconds, easing off in the home stretch to leave Ben Ogden of the United States 0.8 seconds behind. Another Norwegian, Oskar Opstad Vike, placed third, 6.8 seconds behind the leader. Linn Svahn led a Swedish sweep in the women's competition, edging defending Olympic champion Jonna Sundling with Maja Dahlqvist in third place in a race watched by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. Top-ranked Jessie Diggins of the United States was eliminated in the quarterfinals, compounding her disappointment after a fall in her opening race at the weekend. Klaebo's seven gold medals are one shy of the Olympic record in cross-country skiing. ___ AP Winter Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics
