There was nothing to do for the sovereign Canadian Briasn McKeever.

He pulled away from the start and won the gold without threat.

Almost as surely, the American Jake Adicoff took care of the silver medal.

Behind that, Modin initially fought with the Chinese Xu for third place.

But even after a couple of kilometers, Modin was over and was then never threatened by the Chinese.

Modin was finally 1.30 ahead of the Chinese.
