Therese Johaug led from start to finish to take victory on home snow in the cross-country skiing World Cup 30km freestyle mass start at Holmenkollen in Oslo on Sunday, in front of a crowd of 34,000.
Johaug (24), racing alone in front for more than two thirds of the race, with a lead of up to a minute and a half, finished 46.6 seconds ahead of Poland's Justyna Kowalczyk, with Russia's Yulia Tchekaleva third.
Johaug also claimed the World Championship title in the 10km freestyle in Val di Fiemme last month.
Norway's Marit Bjørgen did not participate, due to a cold.
