The author applies index iteration theory of closed geodesics on Finsler manifolds to prove the following main result: For every Finsler metric on the \(n\)-dimensional sphere \(S^{n}\), \( n\geq 3\), with reversibility \(\lambda\) and flag curvature \(K\) satisfying \(\left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1}\right)^2<K\leq 1\), either there exist infinitely many closed geodesics, or there exist always three prime closed geodesics and at least two of them are elliptic. When \(n\geq 6\), these three distinct closed geodesics are non-hyperbolic.
