13:00 GMT 21.02.2018 (Updated: 13:01 GMT 21.02.2018) Marit Bjoergen's recent bronze pushed her Winter Olympic medal count to 14, dethroning fellow Norwegian legend Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who has 13 in biathlon.
Bjoergen's finished third behind a stunning USA gold in cross-country skiing's women's team sprint free.
