Willems won the 50 kilometre title, aided by a well-planned and well-executed early attack by Maas.[1] Peeters, the defending sprint champion, was unable to advance to the semifinals; Meijer was nearly able to take the title himself, finishing second in the final to win silver. Peeters did win a medal, however, taking the tandem bronze along with Bosch.
