From wikipedia: Dæhlie waited for Boit on the finish line for 20 minutes following the 10 km race, saying Boit deserved encouragement.

If I remember correctly; Bjørn Dæhlie gifted him a brand new skisuit as the one he had was a really old and outdated one
Edit: the two have met several times after, and having training sessions and joining charity competions together. Boit considers Dæhlie a dear friend.
Edit 2: Wow this is my most upvoted comment ever! So happy its a wholesome one
