At the end of the 20-kilometer freestyle race, Klæbo left the competition no chance and crossed the finish line first once again. The 29-year-old led a Norwegian sweep of the podium, with five skiers taking the top five spots. This result allowed the number one cross-country skiing nation to repeat its success from Friday's 1-kilometer classic race.

The races in Lake Placid once again demonstrated the enormous strength of the Norwegian team, which left almost all of its competitors behind. The best non-Norwegian was the Italian Davide Graz, who finished sixth. Federico Pellegrino finished 13th on Sunday. The Aosta native had won the sprint on Saturday.
