In total, six of Norway's top cross-country skiers were able to collect millions of revenues last year. Heidi Weng sits at the top of the jump, but Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (22) achieves the highest jump in terms of income.
There is no doubt that the year 2017 has been a good year for cross country star Johannes Høsflot Klæbo.
The 22-year-old made his final breakthrough in the transnational circus with 10 individual World Cup victories. He gave blinding pieces to the box.
In 2016, Klæbo had a modest taxable income of NOK 43 756 compared to NOK 968 489 in 2017. It is 22 times more than the previous year.
At the same time, assets increased from NOK 375,903 to NOK 2.3 million in 2017.

The thrones at the top
Heidi Weng, who has won the World Cup in the last two years, also had a good year.

According to taxpayers, Weng was able to deposit $ 6,483,867 million in the bank account last year, compared to $ 1,277,051 million in 2016.
This has made Weng the cross-country skier with the highest income in 2017.
At the same time, the wealth of Enebakk youth aged 27 rose from 4.1 to 5.1 million.

Thérèse Johaug was another difficult year. She was unable to compete because of the doping ban. This did not prevent the Dalsbygda Express from being one of the longest winters with the highest income.
In 2017, Johaug recorded a total taxable income of 3,264,414 million euros, a slight increase from 3,155,976 million euros in 2016. However, the funds went from 48 million to nearly 36.7 million.
Private sponsors and their own clothing brands have ensured that the money continues to be paid.
The lords entered the most
A quick overview shows that the riders of the Norwegian national team, a total of 13 athletes, won a total of 12.8 million NOK in 2016.
Last year, the same athletes had a total income of NOK 18.2 million.
The nine practitioners had a total income of $ 8.4 million last year, while in 2017, they had a total income of $ 16.8 million.
