Winter Olympics Cross Country Skiing Odds & Picks
Men’s Sprint Classic Odds & Pick
| Athlete | Odds |
|---|---|
| Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo | -334 |
| Erik Valnes | +900 |
| Oskar Opstad Vike | +900 |
| Alvar Myhlback | +1400 |
| Harald Oestberg Amundsen | +2500 |

Latest odds taken from an Offshore Sportsbook.
Reigning Olympic champion Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo could be hard to oppose in the signature event in the men’s competition. The Norwegian has been in excellent form since winning gold four years ago, and looks like good value to add to the three golds he won in 2018.
Free Pick:
Men’s Sprint Relay Odds & Pick
| Nation | Odds |
|---|---|
| Norway | -400 |
| Italy | +500 |
| France | +700 |
| Switzerland | +900 |

Latest odds taken from an Offshore Sportsbook.
The team event is also likely to be dominated by Norway in the men’s section. Norway have dominated the sport in each of the last four editions of the Winter Olympics, and another gold looks set to be heading their way.
Free Pick:
Women’s Sprint Classic Odds & Pick
| Athlete | Odds |
|---|---|
| Jonna Sundling | +225 |
| Kristine Stavaas Skistad | +400 |
| Linn Svahn | +500 |
| Johanna Haegstroem | +500 |
| Jasmi Joensuu | +500 |
| Other Selections | +900 & Bigger |
Latest odds taken from an Offshore Sportsbook.
The Women’s Sprint Classic is expected to be one of the most interesting battles for gold. Reigning Olympic champion Jonna Sundling is back to defend her title, but Linn Svahn could be one of the brightest young stars who could get back on track following an injury-ravaged 2025.
Free Pick:
Women’s 4 x 7.5 km Mix Relay Odds & Pick
| Nation | Odds |
|---|---|
| Sweden | -286 |
| Norway | +225 |
| Finland | +2000 |
| USA | +6600 |
| Germany | +6600 |
| Other Selections | +20000 & Bigger |
Latest odds taken from an Offshore Sportsbook.
Sweden will have a deep team for the 4 x 7.5 km relay in the women’s competition, with Svahn and Sundling both likely to be involved. Therefore, at the prices, they should be very challenging to oppose.
