Krista Parmakoski of Finland won the bronze in 40: 55.0.

Chinese skier Lixin clocked in 46:01.9 to finish 51st while her teammate Chi Chunxue settled for the 55th in 46:39.0.

"I tried my best today, so I am satisfied with this result. I am glad that I can compete in the Winter Olympics and have gained some experience for the 2022 Beijing Games," said Chi, who won a silver in the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics.

"After Beijing successfully won the bid for the 2022 Olympics, more and more people started to pay attention to winter sports," Chi added.

Kalla became the first Swedish woman to claim three gold medals at the Olympic Winter Games, which equaled Agneta Andersson as the Swedish woman with most Olympic gold medals.

The gold is Kalla's third and sixth Olympic medal of her career. At the 2017 Sochi Games, Kalla earned silver while Bjoergen won the gold.

Bjoergen's next medal chance will be the women's 10km individual sprint.
