Kläbo broke three miles

Johannes Hösflot Kläbo was first in the finish, but was later deprived of the gold in the five-mile at the WC in Oberstdorf 2021. On Saturday, the Norwegian had a chance to pinch the gold again and was in the lead from the beginning.

The cameras, on the other hand, captured a bit into the race up Kläbo who seemed to be having a hard time.

It seemed that he did not have the day, but was highly praised by Discovery's expert commentator Peter Larsson.

- Kläbo is a gentleman, he will complete this race and not break, he shows appreciation for being able to represent his country at the Olympics, he said then.

Did not get his revenge

This time, the Discovery expert's words did not match.

After almost 20 km, the cameras captured Kläbo without a number tag and with the skis in their hands.

Many pointed out Kläbo as the favorite for the gold after the five miles in the morning were shortened to three miles due to the extreme weather.

The Norwegian had a hard time even in the initial skiathlon and was a full nine minutes behind the winner Alexander Bolshunov, a real failure.

- I'm shit, he said to VG then.

According to the media, he was furious in the mixed zone.

Something he apologized for later.

"

", he wrote on social media.

Kläbo did not get his revenge after the miserable loss of five miles at the WC in Oberstdorf 2021, when he was deprived of the gold afterwards after a jury decision.
