Norway’s Johannes Dale-Skjevdal in the third Olympic start of his career took control of this afternoon’s Milan/Cortina Men’s 15 km Mass Start when he cleaned both standing stages, skiing to the Gold medal, unchallenged in 39:17.1. The 28-year-old, left off both the Mixed Relay and Relay squads, was the only clean shooter in the 30-man field.

Dale-Skjevdal’s teammate Sturla Holm Laegreid, with one penalty, won the Silver medal, 10.5 seconds back, his fifth medal of these Games. France’s Olympic Sprint Champion Quentin Fillon Mailet, with four penalties, rebounded in the last loop to pass Germany’s Philipp Horn for the Bronze medal, his fourth medal in the last two weeks.
