Result
16:12.82 Galina Kulakova from the Soviet Union had become 16: 07.36 third over 5 km, but the medal was withdrawn because she had used a nasal spray containing the banned substance ephedrine, which has a stimulating effect. The FIS and the IOC, however, allowed her to participate in the remaining races, where she won gold (relay) and bronze (10 km).
