At Nagano in 1998, the Russians won over the Norwegians, but this time were forced to scratch due to positive drug tests from Larissa Lazutina and Olga Danilova.[1]
In Russia's absence due to doping, Germany took an early lead in the first leg. Switzerland, Slovenia, and Norway trailed after Germany the first leg. Norway went ahead on the second leg, 2.7 seconds ahead of Germany, as they both distanced themselves from Switzerland, which was third. Norway stayed ahead by the third and final exchange, nine seconds over Germany, and another seven seconds ahead of Switzerland. On the anchor leg, Germany's Evi Sachenbacher caught Norway's anchor, Anita Moen, and pulled ahead 100 metres from the finish line to win the gold medal for Germany. Switzerland won the bronze medal.
