King Klæbo

Crowning achievement: 50K Gold 2026 Olympics

Cross country skiing has never quite seen anything like Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. With a clean sweep of the 6 Olympic competitions in 2026—from the Sprint to the 50K, incredibly—he backed up the same achievement from the 2025 World Championships. Unprecedented. He currently holds the record for most gold medals in both the Worlds *and* the Olympics. His finishing kick is a wonder to behold, and has become iconic. To witness the Klaebo kick at the end of a long, grueling race is to see something truly extraordinary and unique. It is as if he is not merely sprinting, but galloping. And doing it in perhaps the most physically demanding of Winter sports. What a champion!

An eleven-time World Champion, Usain Bolt won consecutive World Championship 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 metres relay gold medals from 2009 to 2015, with the exception of a 100 m false start in 2011. He is the most successful male athlete of the World Championships. Bolt is the first athlete to win four World Championship titles in the 200 m and is one of the most successful in the 100 m with three titles, being the first person to run sub-9.7s and sub-9.6s.

Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016). He also won two 4 × 100 relay gold medals. He gained worldwide fame for his double sprint victory in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which made him the first person to hold both records since fully automatic time became mandatory.
