The 15 km pursuit final script reflects the classic races against male man: after less than two kilometers in fact the group is already compact, with about twenty boys who proceed in a long procession to the last of the six rounds provided. Here is Alexander Legkov attacking, carrying Maxim Vylegzhanin and Martin Johnsrud Sundby. There are three of them that are played in the victory when from behind only Maurice Manificat react, but when the train has passed. On the last climb the Norwegian attacks without success, but on the final straight unable to resist the return of Vylegzhanin imposing a breath, the third step of the podium for Legkov. With this victory Johnsrud Sundby also takes the lead in the overall standings of the World Cup.
Fourth place for Manificat, which as mentioned does not capture the moment when Legkov attacks, losing the chance to fight for the victory and thus ending at the foot of the podium. Fifth place for the young Russian Sergey Ustiugov, a boy of whom we shall hear much in the near future.
