The 15 km classic technique does not provide an experience, with only unrealistic escape attempt by the Swede Lars Nelson and Frenchman Jean-Marc Gaillard. The two take about ten seconds ahead before being quickly absorbed by the rest of the group. The change of materials occur cos & Igrave; twenty athletes, including the & rsquo; only theoretically capable of being able to fight for the podium absent & egrave; Sjur R & oslash; tea, whose condition & egrave; therefore improved compared to the one shown during the & rsquo; year. Boredom is prolonged even in the first two laps in free technique. L & rsquo; decisive action comes on the climb pi & ugrave; hard of & rsquo; last round, when Dario Cologna attacks all & rsquo; sudden. It follows the only Maxim Vylegzhanin with Didrik T & oslash; nseth which reacts with a little wide, was nonetheless brilliantly carried forward on the tails of the two. Great recovery even by Alex Harvey, who thanks to ski monstrous back fighting for medals despite having pulled for almost all of the first 10 km skating. Sull & rsquo; last climb Vylegzhanin force, Cologna follows him on the final straight but can not overcome it, undertaking instead manages to Harvey on a T & oslash; nseth still went beyond its possibilities & agrave ;. To get Vylegzhanin cos & Igrave; the first medal d & rsquo; gold of his career, he was already & agrave; was four times between silver & nbsp; World Cup and Olympics in individual races. For Russian & egrave; also win number seven all-inclusive, l & rsquo; last of which had arrived just ahead of Cologna and just in & rsquo; last Skiathlon Disputatio in Rybinsk less than a month ago, in a race whose only difference with that of today & egrave; represented by the third place of Harvey in place of Heikkinen. L & rsquo; Swiss must abdicate instead of merely the medal & rsquo; silver after two consecutive gold medals won in this format in the last main event (Fiemme 2013 and Sochi 2014). The bronze instead allows Harvey to become provisionally l & rsquo; only long-distance runner who won two medals in Falun in 2015 after the & rsquo; silver gained Thursday on Igrave; in the Sprint. As a fourth said Didrik T & oslash; nseth that gi & agrave; to & Ã–land; stersund had shown progress in skating, he historically & egrave; alternista a superfine, however, not sufficient to guarantee him a medal. Fifth, trailing by 10 seconds, Maurice Manificat, who became a surprise too late from & rsquo; Cologna attack and unable to keep the wake of Harvey when the Canadian sews the tear. Pi & ugrave; detached others, Calle Halfvarsson best Swedish sixth, Niklas Dyrhaug seventh, eighth Evgeniy Belov, Jean-Marc Gaillard ninth, tenth generous Marcus Hellner and Petter Northug only eleventh. Even the male Skiathlon does not give satisfaction to the color blue. The best, as expected, & egrave; Roland Clara, broke off a classic but able to recover up to a still modest seventeenth position. Very disappointing instead the result of David Hofer, thirty, and Francesco De Fabiani, fortieth and never even protagonist in the segment in alternating him ugrave & pi; favorable.
