Actually it was a pretty compact race, 10 skiers were in a pack until the very end. Just on the last 2-3 climbs team Norge hit the gas. Ughhh, i wanted Heidi to win an individual gold, damn you Bjorgen. Edited March 4, 2017 by Federer91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 776 Posted March 5, 2017 #477 Share Posted March 5, 2017 What a fishy result again. The best thing about the race was the story about the russian guy who just got to Lahti for this race by train yesterday. The race itself was the expected snoozefest and it became clear again that this event has to die as soon as possible. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey won team sprint gold in the 2011 Oslo World Championships with teammate Devon Kershaw but this was his first individual gold medal. In the silver medal position was Russia's Sergey Ustiugov just +0.6 seconds behind. He now ties Bjorn Daehlie and Petter Northug as the only male athletes to win 5 medals at one Championship. In the bronze medal position to the thrill of the home crowd was Finland's Matti Heikkinen +1.4 seconds back of Harvey. Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby over the final kilometer did what he could to narrow the field down but he was unable to get away from Harvey and Ustiugov. Heikkinen was slightly gapped but came back to the leading three in the stadium and on the same corner where he went down in the men's relay he overtook Sundby for the bronze medal position. Britain's Andrew Musgrave also overtook Sundby on the homestretch to take 4th place, a best ever finish for a British cross-country skier.
