Johannes Klaebo led Norway to victory in the men's cross-country team sprint, marking his fifth gold medal at the Milano Cortina Games and tenth career Olympic title. The U.S. men's team secured silver, their second medal of the Games and a significant achievement after a 50-year drought. Italy claimed the bronze. Klaebo's triumph, alongside teammate Einar Hedegart, matches speedskater Eric Heiden's record of five golds in a single Games.
Norway maintained a strong lead throughout the race. Gus Schumacher of the United States battled for silver, finishing 1.37 seconds behind Klaebo. For Italy's Federico Pellegrino, this bronze medal is his second, and he indicated these Olympics will be his last.
