· Yahoo Sports
Superstar Johannes Høsflot Klæbo won the season-ending 20 kilometres mass start race in the United States on Sunday to complete a sweep of all World Cup trophies while Jessica Diggins ended her trophy laden career with 12th place in the women's race after a late fall.

Klæbo added the cross country distance globe to the overall and sprint titles with his 14th season victory and a 113th overall.
He won 0.8 seconds from Harald Østberg Amundsen and 2.5 seconds from last week's Oslo 50km winner Einar Hedegart in a Norwegian 1-5 finish Lake Placid.
Klæbo lost the distance World Cup lead to Amundson by missing Oslo due to concussion but was fit again for the World Cup finals and reclaimed first place by winning Friday's 10km.
He then skipped Saturday's sprint to be fully fit for Sunday where he controlled Amundsen and the rest of the field.
It was a fitting end to a season for Klæbo in which he famously swept all six Olympic golds for a Winter Games record tally of 11 and also won the Tour de Ski a record fifth time.
Diggins meanwhile cried before the start and was then her usual competitive self before a fall on the final kilometre cost her a possible 32rd World Cup race victory on American home snow.
But Diggins was all smiles after crossing the line in her final race in which Jonna Sundling denied Swedish team-mate Linn Svahn a sweep of the three Lake Placid races by 3.5 seconds, with Norway's Heidi Weng third.
Diggins had clinched a third overall World Cup title and the distance globe before the final weekend and bows out with three golds from 11 medals at worlds and Olympics plus three Tour de Ski titles.
Several others also had their last race, most notably Italy's Federica Pellegrino, a former sprint world champion who has 11 medals from worlds and Olympics and won Saturday's sprint for his 18th World Cup success.
Ski jumpers were in action as well on Sunday but high wind at the Norwegian flying hill of Vikersund forced the cancellation of the men's event and the women managed only one competition jump due to the conditions.
Norway's Eirin Maria Kvandal claimed back-to-back victories with 231.5 metres. She was 4.1 points ahead of World Cup champion Nika Prevc of Slovenia who had 220.5m. Norwegian double Olympic champion Anna Odine Strøm was third.
The ski jumping season ends next weekend on the Slovenian flying hill of Planica.
