PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Being the best sometimes just makes the pressure even greater.
That was true for both Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo and Stina Nilsson, who came into the Pyeongchang Olympics as the favorites in the cross-country skiing sprints.
They seem to have handled it just fine, though, and they both have a gold medal to prove it.
"It will be great to have a good night sleep," Klaebo said with a laugh. "Now I can sleep with a big smile on my mouth."
Sleep is something the Norwegian said he was struggling with ahead of Tuesday's race.
