France takes silver, while Italy claims bronze. Under a clear sky, Norway dominates the race, with Klaebo skillfully managing the lead as the final leg runner. With this fourth gold medal, he aims for a "Grand Slam," an unprecedented achievement he already accomplished at the last World Championships.
