Following the competition, Klæbo was celebrated not just for his win but for the legacy he continues to build in cross-country skiing. Krüger pointed out that Klæbo's achievements inspire him, and both athletes are now seen as torchbearers in the discipline, as they continue to break barriers and set new standards in skiing excellence.
