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. Finlands Joni Maki also managed to pass Retivykh on the final stretch to claim the silver medal for Finland, 0.41 seconds ahead of the Russians. Holund and Krueger mounted a brave challenge on the longest climb on the course, with Holund taking a slim lead to set up a frenetic finish. Hansens cousin Johaug set the tone for the day earlier, bouncing back from an early fall to crush the field and claim gold in the womens skiathlon. Faehndrich and Laurien van der Graaff took an unexpected silver medal for Switzerland 0.95 seconds behind the Swedes, with Eva Urevc and Anamarija Lampic coming in 2.51 seconds later to secure the bronze.
Joining the two halves of the gold medal group helped Holubrun and Spengner become the champions.
