Preview[]
Seventy-six athletes qualified for the event with the previous four seasons having been dominated by Marit Bjoergen and Justyna Kowalczyk. Kerttu Niskanen was the only other athlete to have won an event on World Cup level in the last twelve months, though Bjoergen and Kowalczyk did not feature in that race. The world championships were won by Therese Johaug, who finished comfortably before her countrywoman Bjoergen and Yulia Tchekaleva. The defending champion Charlotte Kalla was one of the other big seeds, just like the Finnish skiers Krista Lahteenmaki, Aino-Kaisa Saarinen, and Anne Kylloenen. Other medal contenders and outsiders included Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen, Julia Ivanova, Stefanie Boehler, and Heidi Weng.
