Holund finished in 33 min 48.7 sec to cross the line 20.2 seconds ahead of fellow Norwegian Simen Hegstad Krueger while compatriot Harald Amundsen took the bronze medal after finishing 35.6 seconds behind the winner in an event where the athletes start at 30-second intervals. "It was big.
I had a good day and managed to carry out what was planned," an emotional Holund told broadcaster NRK.
