When he won his three gold medals in 1994, at home in Norway, he did so with three new world records, thereby almost equalling Eric Heiden's feat of Lake Placid. His record on the 10000 metres of 13.30.55 was an improvement of nearly 13 seconds over his own best of three years before. The time was three minutes less than that with which Hjalmar Andersen had won the 10000 metres in his triple in Oslo. Andersen presented the gold medal. It was also announced that Koss would get a statue at Hamar, next to that of Andersen.
He also won three overall world titles (1990, '91 and '94).
He was seen smiling at Nagano, were he was commentating, when Gianni Romme skated another 15 seconds off his world record.
He was elected in 1998 into the IOC Athletes Commission.
