Norway won the women’s 4x7.5km relay with a substantial lead after Sweden suffered two crashes in the second leg of the race on Saturday, Feb. 14, at Milan Cortina 2026.

That was the key to gold in the women’s cross-country skiing relay on Saturday, as wet, slushy conditions landed Sweden in second and Norway at the top of the podium for its second women’s cross-country skiing medal of these Olympics and first gold. Finland picked up its first cross-country skiing medal with bronze.

TESERO, Italy (AP) — A broken ski and a slushy course upended the women’s cross‑country relay Saturday, sending Norway to victory as powerhouse Sweden suffered a Valentine’s Day heartbreak at the Milan Cortina Games.

Johannes Klaebo led Norway to victory in the men's cross-country team sprint on Wednesday to win his fifth gold of the Milano Cortina Games and 10th career Olympic title, while Sweden's women extended their domination of the sport with another gold.

Norway swept the Nordic combined events at the Milan Cortina Winter Games in what could be the final time the sport is featured in the Olympics.
