Marit Bjoergen was so far ahead of the rest of the field in the women's 30 km cross-country ski race on Sunday that nobody else on the course could see her.
The 37-year-old Norwegian was never challenged and finished her remarkable Olympic career in dominant fashion, winning the gold medal in 1 hour, 22 minutes, 17.6 seconds - more than 1:49 ahead of silver medalist Krista Parkakoski of Finland in the final event of the Pyeongchang Games.
Stina Nilsson of Sweden won the bronze medal.
