Maloney Westgaard survives 'suffering' with impressive finish in Olympic 50km 

Ireland's Winter Olympics odyssey wrapped up with another impressive performance on Saturday afternoon as cross-country skier Thomas Maloney Westgaard finished 23rd in the punishing 50km mass start classic in Predazzo.

Norway dominated what is one of the most prestigious events in cross-country skiing, filling the podium with Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo in gold, Martin Loewstroem Nyenget in silver, and Emil Iversen in bronze. The trio set a fast pace from the start, lap by lap putting distance into the remainder of the field. It was Klaebo's sixth gold of a remarkable Games.
