Norwegian Ski Star Klæbo Launches Chess Venture with Haaland Investment Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the celebrated Norwegian ski racer, is expanding his interests beyond the slopes with a significant investment in a new chess competition. The move, spearheaded by the company Norway Chess AS, reflects Klæbo’s recognized tactical acumen, honed during his successful career in alpine skiing. Klæbo is collaborating with fellow Norwegian sporting icon, Erling Haaland, in this ambitious project.
