What this episode covers
Four legs of 5 k each. Norway took the win, for all practical purposes, midway through leg three when Johaug took over. Silver went to a gritty Russian team while bronze was up in the air until the closing meters. Finland outpaced the U.S. for the final podium spot. No matter how you look at it, great sporting theater.
