Einar Hedegart won the men's 50km cross-country skiing race in Holmenkollen, Norway. The race was held in thick fog, making it difficult for spectators and TV viewers to see the action. Hedegart, a 24-year-old Norwegian, secured his third World Cup victory of the season and his first at Holmenkollen.
Johannes Hösflot Klåbo was absent due to a concussion. The top eight finishers were all Norwegian, with French skier Victor Lovera as the best non-Norwegian in ninth place and Leo Johansson of Sweden in 13th. This year's event featured a new format with men and women on the course simultaneously for the first time, though the men's race started 45 minutes earlier.
