Klaebo claims Crystal Globe No.5 after Sprint triumph in Tallinn

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo (NOR) won the Men's Sprint Free in Tallinn (EST) on Wednesday, securing his fifth overall Crystal Globe in the penultimate Coop FIS Cross-Country World Cup stage this season.

The 28-year-old superstar, who made a strong case for himself as the greatest Cross-Country skier of all times as he won six out of six gold medals at the FIS Nordic Ski World Championships in his hometown Trondheim, Norway, a couple of weeks ago, did not have to wait for long before reaching another career milestone.

Cruising to his eighth World Cup Sprint victory this winter, Klaebo brought his score in the overall standings to 1,928 and a 329-point lead over No.2 Edvin Anger (SWE) that the Swedish 22-year-old will not be able to close with two individual events remaining of the season.

Idris went for a second place in the final race while the race showcased a range of talented competitors and proved to be one of the highlights of the season.
