But it’s the Olympics, man! THE OLYMPICS! 😀
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo won the men’s team sprint today, along with Einar Hedegart, and thus became the second greatest Olympian of all time, with 10 golds (impossibly long behind no. 1, of course – legendary swimmer Michael Phelps and his 23 gold medals). But he still has a way to go in terms of NUMBER of medals. He “only” has 12, so plenty ahead of him, including another Norwegian, Marit Bjørgen.
The women’s team sprint was a disaster for Norway, as we finished fourth – also after German master sprintress Coletta Rydzek. Absolute rubbish! Sweden predictably won.
Also, in the team sprint – Great Britain finishes at 5! That must be the best result for the Brits in Olympic cross-country…like, ever!
