The first portion of the day saw a quiet first half and a second characterized dall''attacco decided the Russian Andrey Larkov. The 'only athlete able to keep the pace of the tread pattern is, as expected, Didrik Toenseth.Dietro of them formed a group formed by Germany, France, Finland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland and Sweden. Among the nations detached after the first 5km has unfortunately been part also the 'Italian who continued his run in tandem with the Czech Republic.
Near the Larkov change has accelerated gaining a few tens of meters of Toenseth and giving the mate Bessmertnykh an advantage of 3s on Dyrhaug.Venti seconds behind the two Alexey Poltoranin and Thomas Bing brought their nations to change with a few meters advantage over the others pursuers. De Fabiani, yet tried by the disease after-effects, changed the tenth with a minute and five delay.
Russia-Norway couple were soon ricompattto, as well as the group of pursuers returned to Kazakhstan and Germany. During the first round the most striking news was the decline in Sweden, Johan Olsson has paid a non-optimal sealing of skiing on soft and heavy snow today.
The group of pursuers was led by Frenchman Maurice Manificat until the fifth kilometer, when Niskanen, winner of 15 classic on Wednesday, greeted the company and gave the mate Lehtonen 30.2 seconds late on the first and 15 second gap on ' 'French tracker Robin Duvillard.
The leading pair, with ever Dyrhaug on Bessmertnykh code was compact until the second change, with Alexey Chervotkin to open the dances in the middle of free technical seconds before Martin Johnsrud Sundby.
In the third stage the role of best day goes without a doubt to Hellner, author of a powerful comeback. Party to more than a minute from the medals zone the Swede was able to repair the damage occurred in the second fraction, recovering nell''ordine Germany, France, Switzerland and Finland, changing third and placing Calle Halfvarsson as favorite for the 'last step of the podium at the disposal.
As for the race for the two most precious metals, Chervotkin was the author of an unexpected performance, taking the lead of the race until the fifth kilometer and resisting all''attacco Norwegian all''ottavo up. So, while disconnected, the young 1995 class has not lost his' soul, and he squeezed the last bit of energy to be able to take over in 17.2 seconds from the head.
In the last fraction it was staged a real hunt for the hare, with a wild Ustiugov who tried by force to close the gap on rival Finn Haagen Krogh, halving in the first half of the first lap, only to lose a little of the land recovered in the second half.
This variation of the detachments was repeated in each of the village's Last laps, with the Russian in the process of attaching the 'opponent in mid-lap and the Norwegian able to regain margin to step into the stadium.
A minute and a half behind the duo, the representatives of four teams: Germany, Switzerland, Finland and Sweden; all other nations largely out of the game, including France collapsed in the second half of the third quarter. The four athletes, knowing they will not be able to play the victory, gave birth to a little theater of shots and "pause for reflection" worthy of the last kilometers of the Olympic relay team in Salt Lake City 2002. Two kilometers from the term was Matti Heikkinen break hesitating to try to resolve the race before dell''infausto -to him- straight finale.Il first to succumb to the progression of the Finnish was the German X, with Halfvarsson and the 'Swiss y able to answer, despite timing different. The Swede was immediately on dell''atleta queues home, the Swiss instead paid at first, but was then able to close the gap accumulated.
In the struggle for the 'gold Krogh-even in the race in the uniform of SprintGutta (national Norwegian sprint) - has run the race like a try cronometro.Con an impressive coolness of the Alta native Norway has maintained its rhythm regardless dall''azione the Russian who came after him, carrying the male Norway the first success in this world event and allowing the Scandinavian nation to extend the winning streak in the world hits two more years.
In the fight for the lowest step of the podium Heikkinen has scollinato in all''ultima head uphill, on his Halfvarsson tails and slightly behind Perl.
On the descent to the stadium the Swiss has closed on the duo ahead of him and the three -nell''ordine Sweden, Finland, Switzerland-they have taken the 'last turn one after the' other. Out of corners unfortunately Heikkinen has mismanaged the recovery of the outside ski, stumbling and ending on the ground, blurring definitely the now feeble medal hopes.
After the 'opening Defabiani Dietmar Noeckler and Giandomenico Salvadori held the' Italy in the group constantly all''inseguimento of France, made up of the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan and finally to the United States. The same script has remained in fourth stage, with the late Federico Pellegrino able to adjust the traveling companions and bring him and his companions to an eighth place in line with what might be expectations on the eve of the race.
