Russia is good luck to the Grisons, that after the two medals d & rsquo; won gold in Sochi l & rsquo; last year, is imposed for the first time on the snow of Rybinsk. Cologna, who started last, takes command of the situation after just 3.5 Km and saves since the finish line, going to win the victory number 25 all-inclusive career, the number 12 in the World Cup. L & rsquo; Swiss cry the home crowd, because behind it are placed four Russians. According & egrave; Evgeniy Belov, the fourth podium of his career, but which still eludes the first statement; for him & egrave; however a confirmation after the & rsquo; excellent Tour de Ski. Third & egrave; instead Sergey Ustiugov, rising for the first time on the podium in a race distance thanks to a final resounding allowing him to bypass Alexander Legkov, fourth and recovering after a first half of the season extremely disappointing. Full poker Russian Stanislav Volzhentsev beaten, never cos & Igrave; good at a race in skating we are talking about a specialist of the classical technique. Among the top ten are also two other Russians, l & rsquo; Olympic Turin Eugeniy Dementiev seventh and ninth Konstantin Glavatskikh, Canadian Alex Harvey tenth and the two protagonists of the climb to Cermis, Maurice Manificat sixth, and our eighth Roland Clara. L & rsquo; Tyrolean therefore fails to repeat the excellent races in the Tour de Ski, although a placing among the top-ten was what could be expected on the eve. Others badly blue, none of which centers the scoring area: Francesco De Fabiani & egrave; thirty, thirty-David Hofer, Dietmar N & ouml; ckler thirty-eighth and forty-fourth Stefano Gardener.
