Gold and silver are accrued in a daring: at the last entrance to the stadium, to command it was Norway (Johannes Høsflot Klæbo and Emil Iversen), closely followed by Finland (Sami Jauhojärvi and Iivo Niskanen), while Italy and Russia pursued with a handful of meters of separation. Niskanen tried to go inside Iversen, beginning precisely maneuver while the opponent is moved to force him outside. Inevitable contact, which led to the fall of both.
Pellegrino has narrowly dodged the two rivals to the ground; Ustiugov did likewise, to then beat even before the last corner of the Val d'Aosta, visibly fatigued, and avenge overtaking suffered in the last meters of the individual competition on Thursday.
Finland has saved at least the bronze medal, while at the foot of the podium was placed Norway, long seemed in full control of the final.
During the third stage, in fact, Klæbo stuck firmly, digging a gap of five seconds ahead of the pursuers, led by Canada (Alex Harvey and Len Väljas). In fourth, Ustiugov gave everything to mend the breach, managing to reduce it to less than two seconds with a forcing that only Italy and Finland have been able to withstand.
The fifth lap has revived the script of the third, with Klæbo which reported a 5 '' on the gap trio tracker, now in its unattainable time for Germany (Thomas Bing and Sebastian Eisenlauer), Sweden (Emil Jönsson and Teodor Peterson), United United (Simeon Hamilton and Erik Bjornsen), Canada, Switzerland (Roman Furger and Jovian Hediger) and Poland (Dominik Bury and Maciej Starega).
In the latest round, Niskanen was to lead the hunt for Iversen, managing to to crown in the final descent towards the stadium. Everything seemed to imagine a triumph of the home favorites, before the accident that overturned the podium.
