However, Johaug reeled her in with a powerful performance on the uphill parts of the course and came out of the switch from classic to freestyle skis at the halfway point with a lead of 4.3 seconds over Andersson. Johaug crashed to the snow after colliding with Swede Frida Karlsson, who broke a ski pole in the clash, towards the end of the first of four laps, and her fellow Swede Ebba Andersson briefly cruised into the lead as the second lap began. Earlier in the day, Swedens Sundling made the most of the slim lead provided to her by team mate Maja Dahlqvist in bright sunshine and warm conditions as she entered the last lap under pressure from Russias Natalya Nepryayeva. Nepryayevas challenge fell away as they entered the final climb, but Switzerlands Nadine Faehndrich suddenly took up the chase to set up a thrilling sprint finish, with Sundling keeping her cool in the final bend to cruise to victory. Having won the 30km classical sprint race on Thursday, the gold medal is the 24-year-old Klaebos second in Oberstdorf and his fifth overall.
