Despite the high pace right from the start, the race pi & ugrave; ancient cross-country skiing traces l & rsquo; now familiar script of boredom lasting one & rsquo; hour and a half. The group acts almost compact, with some jolt only in proximity & agrave; of ski gear, but attempts to escape are short-lived. The first plot twist you around the 35 & deg; km, when Petter Northug gives a crash, raising the white flag. The Norwegian still completes his labor coming thirty-ninth with nearly 8 minutes late. The fight for victory comes alive in & rsquo; last lap, when attacking Dario Cologna and the leading group, composed of 16 athletes, explodes. L & rsquo; Switzerland is followed only by Sundby, Holund, R & oslash; and the Dolidovich, on which reports Hellner in view of & rsquo; last mile. The long sprint sees R & oslash; take the head in the final straight and be able to resist the return of Cologne, defeating him in the photo finish. For the 26 year old Lillehammer, after 6 races podiums in the first level, & egrave; This is the first career victory, came in one of the pi & ugrave occasions; important & ndash; especially for a Norwegian & ndash; and at the end of a season for him enough undertone. Cologna has to settle for second place, but centra l & rsquo; main goal of his race, the cup of specialty & agrave; of distance. Fails to recover the fact Sundby & rsquo; large detachment that had the run despite the & rsquo; commitment to raise more & ugrave; points as possible also the intermediate sprints. Cologna also bypasses Northug finished second in the overall standings with the King of Falun third: could not find two Norwegians together on the final podium of the World Cup since 2009, when he was second Northug and Ola Vigen Hattestad third. Returning to the race, the third place of the potr Sundby & agrave; consular from failure to conquer the cup of specialty & agrave ;. The winner of the crystal ball in fact becomes the first man to stand on the podium of the 50 Km Oslo for four consecutive times. The only drawback that not l & rsquo; has yet won (2/2 and 2/3 places for him). Sensational fourth place instead of Sergei Dolidovich: the almost 42-year old Belarusian proves once more & ugrave; to be competitive over long distances, the touch of a podium twice in his career, one in 2001 and one in 2009. They arrive exhausted at the final sprint even Marcus Hellner, fifth and never cos & Igrave; proficient in a 50 Km, and Hans Christer Holund sixth. The top-ten & egrave; completed by the Russians Konstantin Glavatskikh seventh and Andrey Larkov eighth, ninth and Niklas Dyrhaug Robin Duvillard, tenth and best French with Manificat and Gaillard not manage to break the bank. Disappointing for s & eacute; the race of the Blues: Roland Clara, once he gets to see leading the pack in the early stages, gives relentlessly, managing to finish thirtieth and last of those points that win the World Cup. Far behind Francesco De Fabiani, fifty-second, but nevertheless the Aosta Valley has that smile: & egrave; His fact the World Cup reserved for Under 23, which can result & ograve; be a good omen for a guy who quest & rsquo; year he won his first race of the first level and that in the future potr & agrave; hold high the name of & rsquo; Italy in the men's cross-country skiing. 50 KM TL OSLO & ndash; FINAL STANDINGS 1.
