"We broke the record" - Dale-Skjevdal after Norway set new Winter Olympics gold record.

Описание: Johannes Dale-Skjevdal of Norway was the only biathlete to hit all 20 of his targets in the 15-kilometer mass start race on Friday and skied his way to gold - Norway's 17th gold medal of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics - breaking the record for the most gold medals won by a nation at a single Winter Olympics.

Norway had set the record at the 2022 Beijing Olympics with 16 gold medals.

Dale-Skjevdal had taken the lead after the first standing bout with clean shooting and completed the five laps on newly packed snow and gusty winds in 39 minutes, 17.1 seconds.

His teammate Sturla Holm Laegreid only missed one target and finished 10.5 seconds back for silver.

It was his fifth medal of these Olympic Games: three silver and two bronze.

France's Quentin Fillon Maillet won bronze.
