The Norwegians completed the 4x5km course in 47:13.5, with last-leg skier Joergen Graabak beating Germany's Fabian Riessle in a sprint finish across the final 100m.

During the first leg, Magnus Moan made up a 25-second deficit to haul Norway back into contention and Graabak finished the job after runs solid from Haavard Klemetsen and Magnus Krog.

Austria - who had won this event during the last two Olympic Games - came in third place.
