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. 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. After a tight opening 15km in the classic style leg of the mens race, the switch to freestyle saw world number one Bolshunov lead a six-man breakaway group of himself and five Norwegians into the final lap. 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.
Holund and Krueger mounted a brave challenge the years before last year.
