Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Klaebo won a ground-breaking sixth gold at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on Saturday.

Klaebo's victory in the men's 50-kilometre mass start event saw him clinch his 11th Winter Olympics gold medal, extending the record he set earlier in these Games.

The 29-year-old also became the first athlete to win all six cross-country skiing races in one Games.

The only athlete in Winter or Summer Games history with more Olympic titles is American swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 golds. (AFP)
