Klaebo dominated from the start, his teammates Nyenget and Iversen waiting in the wings for silver and bronze. The Norwegian trio broke away early, and it was all but over.
Heiden’s record was always going to fall, and it might as well have been Klaebo who did it. The Norwegian’s sixth gold medal was a formality.
Klaebo’s win gave Norway a record 18th gold medal and cemented their lead in the total medal count.
This one felt predictable from the get-go.
