Klebo failed to take the top three at the 2023 World Cup for the first time
He was moved off the podium by Harald Amundsen, the bronze medalist of the “tag” at the world championship two years ago.
Johannes Klebo was left without a medal in the 15 km freestyle race at the 2023 World Championships in Planica, Slovenia. And this happened to a Norwegian skier for the first time.
The 26-year-old athlete became only the fourth, losing the podium to teammate Simen Hegstad Kruger and two representatives of Norway - Harald Ostberg Amundsen and Hans Christer Holund.
Klebo won gold at the 2023 World Cup in the sprint and team sprint, and the silver medalist in the 30 km skiathlon.
This year there are no representatives of Russia at the World Championships.
