Ladies’ competition was a clear business for Marit Bjoergen. The Norwegian ace stopped the clock in the time of 30:57.5 and edged out the runner up and compatriot Heidi Weng to second place by a huge margin of 1:29 sec. Germany’s Nicole Fessel showed a very good performance as she powered to third place.

Men’s starting field remained compact until the end of the competition and margins between the athletes were very small. 2.1 seconds separated the winner from the sixth place. Eldar Roenning topped the podium as he outsprinted compatriot Simen Oestensen. Youngster Sjur Roethe took third place as Martin Johnsrud Sundby completed purely Norwegian top 4. First skier outside Norway was in the fifth place Jean Marc Gaillard (FRA) and in sixth Dario Cologna (SUI).
