The women's 4 × 5 kilometre relay cross-country skiing competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics was held on 17 February 2018 at 18:30 KST at the Alpensia Cross-Country Skiing Centre in Pyeongchang, South Korea.[1][2] Norway won the event, with Sweden taking the silver medal and Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) bronze.

Summary

In the first leg, OAR (

Anastasia Sedova). Finland was already 40 seconds behind, with other teams seemingly out of medal contention. In the last leg, Anna Nechaevskaya could not match the pace of the leaders, but Krista Pärmäkoski of Finland was not fast enough to make up forty seconds deficit, and OAR became third. At the finish line, Marit Bjørgen was faster than Stina Nilsson
, thus winning gold for Norway.

In the victory ceremony, the medals were presented by Kristin Kloster Aasen, member of the International Olympic Committee, accompanied by Erik Røste, President of the Norwegian Ski Federation.

Qualification

Main article: Cross-country skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Qualification

A total of up to 310 cross-country skiers qualified across all eleven events. Athletes qualified for this event by having met the A qualification standard, which meant having 100 or less FIS Points in either the sprint or distance classification. The Points list takes into average the best results of athletes per discipline during the qualification period (1 July 2016 to 21 January 2018). Countries received additional quotas by having athletes ranked in the top 30 of the FIS Olympics Points list (two per gender maximum, overall across all events). Countries also received an additional quota (one per gender maximum) if an athlete was ranked in the top 300 of the FIS Olympics Points list. After the distribution of B standard quotas, the remaining quotas were distributed using the Olympic FIS Points list, with each athlete only counting once for qualification purposes. A country could only enter the event if it had qualified at least four female athletes, and a country could enter only one team.[3]
