The segment of the race in classic technique is characterized by forcing Nelson, a specialist in stride but theoretically skating wrought by his countrymen stronger, which reduces to three the number of athletes head. With him are in fact the only Richardsson and Hellner, the latter, however, a slight difficulty in keeping the tails of his companions. The rest of the group, sgretolatosi in turn along the 15 km initials, comes to the change of technique in dribs and drabs: Simon Andersson and Bill Impola chase to 25 seconds, Jens Eriksson, Martin Johansson and Daniel Svensson are others that limit the detachment under the minute. In the 15 km free technique surprisingly Nelson continues to set the pace; pays the consequences Richardsson, which loses the tails of his companions while remaining a matter of seconds up to three kilometers from the end, when Nelson accelerates again in an attempt to head off in vain, Hellner. In the sprint Olympic champion in this discipline relies on his skills going to win with relative ease. Behind Nelson and Richardsson for a podium in the absence of Johan Olsson, sick, sees the three Swedish stronger, for more than a minute Andersson, Johansson and Impola, more than two the rest of the group.
