After the success in the 15 km CT yesterday, Didrik Tønseth granted today a free technique over the same distance. A great final enabled the 25-year old from Trondheim to bend the resistance of young Simen Hegstad Krüger, never in ten World Cup in individual races but world champion junior in charge of the specialty, capable of controlling the race until the last intermediate.

The two contenders have inflicted detachments in the order of half a minute to all other conducting substantially parallel races. After a cautious start, the two are installed on top of the standings already after the first round of 5 km, is well heeled from all the other favorites.
It was the second lap to allow Krüger and Tønseth to take off, with the first always the slight advantage.
As in the women's race, where Bjørgen overtook Weng between the last intermediate and the finish line, the last 2,800 meters have turned the outcome of the duel, but without detracting from the exploits of 23-year old Norwegian talent. Waiting for the return of Sundby, still perhaps for Ruka, Tønseth looks like this as a hottest athlete of the moment at the first stage of the World Cup.
On the lowest rung of the podium Simen Andreas Sveen, last to surrender to the overwhelming power of the head and in the running for success until mid-test torque. Anders Gløersen behind him, followed by Mathias Rundgreen that for just a tenth of a second excluded from the first five positions Andrew Musgrave, able to confirm the good show yesterday.
Norway still in the rest of the top 10, with Sjur Røthe, Chris Jespersen, Hallvard Løfald and Magne Haga.
Recovering from yesterday, but still far from the levels that rumors of his excellent run of form left to imagine, Petter Northug, forced to settle for fifteenth place after a running at startup (best time in the first two surveys).
Among the other big Norwegian, it should be noted the 20th place of Finn Haagen Krogh, trailing by one minute and 16 '', just in front of Anton Shipulin.
