TESERO, Italy (AP) — Outside the Olympic cross-country stadium in this Dolomite mountain town, Norwegian flags have been draped over the railings like bunting on a national holiday. Fans from the Scandinavian country have set up camp nearby and kept a live tally of medals won by their athletes at the Milan Cortina Games.

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is officially 6-for-6: He's won gold in all six of his cross-country events at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Norway's 29-year-old Olympic legend entered rare air with one more signature kick on Saturday.
