The Norwegian cross-country skier became the first Winter Olympian to reach the double-digit mark in career gold medals

Norway’s remarkable consistency at the Winter Olympics stems from a decades‑old culture that puts children’s happiness, equal access to sport and shared expertise ahead of fast results, the country’s head of delegation Tore Oevreboe said.

History was made across multiple venues at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Wednesday. Mikaela Shiffrin won gold in the women's slalom to become the winningest alpine skier in United States Olympic history. Norway's Johannes Klaebo won his 10th-career gold medal in the men's cross-country team sprint.

Britain's men's curling team will contest the Olympic semifinals on Thursday evening after a defeat for Italy saw them scrape through to the next stage.
