There was not much to do for Norway's strong relay team today.

After Therese Johaug on the second leg pulled away and gave the Norwegians an advantage, the other teams never caught up.

Heidi Weng, who finished for Norway, finished as the superior winner.

The relay started well for Sweden when Charlotte Kalla drove the first leg and with a really good glide so when could get past Finland, who made a jerk just before the first change.

Kalla handed over second to Emma Ribom.

The second stretch was tough, Therese Johaug went out as third but quickly took the baton.

Emma Ribom lost and handed over as four - 26 seconds behind Norway.

Ebba Andersson jerked

The Finns were second for a long time, even though they were far from Norway.

At the last change, Finland was a full 52 seconds behind Norway after a really strong effort by young Helene Marie Fossesholm.

After debutant Lovisa Modig's third leg, Sweden was third, one minute behind Norway.

Ebba Andersson finished for Sweden and caught up with Finland and drove full attack immediately.

With just over a kilometer left, Sweden was over ten seconds ahead of Finland and 40 seconds ahead of Russia.

Finland finished third 59.5 seconds behind Norway.
