Thierry Chases Mats Haldin down the run in

Thierry Reigns Supreme and Hanne Staff retires at the top.

As many predicted it was Gold for Thierry Gueorgiou of France by 21 secs with another superb example of technical supremacy.
Hanne Staff caped the most decorated WOC career with her 11th medal, to take Gold with an impressive second half of the course. She also announced that she still intends to retire after todays Relay, and would like to win more medals to protect her tally from Super Noodles!
