Dietmar Nöckler and Federico Pellegrino had never missed the podium in this four-year Olympic period, but they did so on the occasion of placing fifth. Didi was not in the best condition and at each time fraction lost ground from the strongest on a path perhaps too hard for its characteristics and with many opponents from greater distances that made great tugs and Chicco always had to mend the gap. It was like that in the semi-finals and everything was repeated in the final, so much so that he finally got up again. The gold went to Norway with Martin Johnsrud Sundby and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the silver won in the sprint the Russia of Denis Spitsov and Aleksandr Bolshunov on the surprising France of Maurice Manificat and Richard Jouve, bronze, and to Sweden of Marcus Hellner and Calle Halfvarsson.
An extraordinary sprint has decided the women's race: in the last fraction in the last fraction the Norwegian Maiken Caspersen Falla and the Swedish Stina Nilsson have done a hand in the downhill before arriving at the bottom stadium but behind them the American Jessica Diggins has held on and on the final straight he first left the Norwegian on the spot and then printed with justice the Swede who among other things would be the Olympic champion of the individual competition in the classic. Gold in United States, silver in Sweden and bronze in Norway, the other fractional were Kikkan Randall, Charlotte Kalla and Marit Bjørgen, the latter comes to 14 Olympic medals, 7 golds, 4 silver and 3 bronzes, an absolute record for the Winter Games , one more than Ole Einar Bjørndalen, only four in this Olympics, for the United States is the first historic gold in cross-country skiing.
