The 2026 Winter Olympics has seen some major Norway stars make their rounds on social media, including the bronze medalist who went viral for revealing he cheated on his girlfriend.
However, Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has taken that internet fame to another level after showing off his insane speed in the cross-country skiing event.
Klaebo posted a sub-six-minute mile pace during the uphill climb in Milan and it has the entire Winter Olympics community absolutely stunned by his success.
