Beijing Winter Olympics: Norway's Therese Johaug Wins First Gold Of Beijing Winter Olympics
Norwegian cross-country skier Therese Johaug won the first gold medal of the Beijing Olympics on Saturday as sport moved centre stage after a troubled build-up dominated by coronavirus and rights concerns. Johaug was a comfortable winner of the women's 7.5-plus-7.5-kilometre skiathlon in what is expected to be the first of many cross-country skiing medals for Norway at these Games.
