The Canadian crossed the line in 56 minutes five seconds behind winner Maerta Rosenberg of Sweden in 55:06 and runner-up Eva Ingebrigtsen of Norway in 56. "I’ve been dreaming of this medal for like a year now, especially after last year when I was so close to the podium a couple of times," Gagnon said."But to do it in the classic race, that was not in the plans, but really glad it happened, that’s for sure. So, yeah, super stoked."Gagnon's medal came a day after Edmonton's Alison Mackie took bronze in the junior women's 20k mass start. Mackie was the first Canadian woman to win a world junior medal since 1989.
Calgary's Tom Stephen was fifth and Xavier McKeever of Canmore, Alta., was seventh in the men's under-23 mass start.Drolet, Gagnon, Max Hollman and Derek Deuling were gold medallists in the under-23 mixed relay in Slovenia in 2024.
