| Overview by IAAF |
|
 |
| A large group were together at 10Km, reached in an official time of 46:40, though 50 minutes would be a more accurate appraisal. Štork and Janis Daliņš then broke away, with Štork just ahead of Daliņš at 20Km. By 30Km Daliņš (2:37:12) led by a minute from Whitlock, who closed in and caught the Latvian 2Km later. Daliņš soon fell back, and gave up shortly afterwards, while Štork recovered from fifth place to take second by 35Km. The effort was too much, and the Czech fell back, only just holding off Bruun for fourth, while Schwab and Bubenko battled for second place. Whitlock got home comfortably ahead of Schwab and Bubenko, though the Swiss did close to within 35 seconds just before 45Km. |
