Therese Johaug went in for superb gold at three miles, and Jessie Diggins had full control of the silver. It also looked like Ebba Andersson had on the bronze after walking alone for a long time.
But up the last hill, a few hundred meters before the finish, she was suddenly caught again. Andersson was “taken” by strong gusts of wind, while Kerttu Niskanen took the bronze and several blows past the Swede. Anderson ended up in 8th place and was crushed after the finish.

– I tried to give what I had towards the goal, but am very surprised when they are suddenly up in the back at the bottom of the hill. It feels very unfair right now, Andersson says to Aftonbladet while the tears flow.
