Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjoergen won the final gold medal of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics on Sunday.

Bjoergen won the ladies' 30-kilometer mass start classic at Alpensia Cross-Country Centre in PyeongChang in one hour, 22 minutes and 17.6 seconds. It was the last event at PyeongChang 2018, which will draw to a conclusion with a closing ceremony later Sunday.

The 37-year-old became the only athlete to win five medals in PyeongChang. She had earlier won gold in the 4x5km relay, silver 7.5km + 7.5km Skiathlon, and bronze medals in team sprint free and 10km free.

She now has a record 15 medals in the Winter Olympics overall.

Krista Parmakoski of Finland won the silver with 1:24:07.1, followed by Stina Nilsson of Sweden at 1:24.16.5.

Charlotte Kalla, also of Sweden, failed to join Bjoergen in the five-medal club, as she settled for fifth in the mass start. (Yonhap)
