"This is the place where I won my first World Cup in 2007, so it is nice to be back with a win here again today," said the Norwegian.

"It is a difficult course with challenging conditions today so I was cautious on the first lap and I think that helped very much."

Despite the win Marit Bjoergen still leads the overall standings with 1588 points ahead of Therese Johaug and Heidi Weng who are on 1138 and 1017 respectively.
