Andrey Khramov from Russia won the men’s sprint final race which was affected by a heavy rain.
"It was a clear race. I made only one mistake as I had some problems with the map-reading at the 4th control," the Russian athlete said. "I feel great. One does not win the World Championships every day." The men's race was very close. Second Daniel Hubmann from Switzerland finished only 2 seconds after the winner whose time was 13:36,9. But the gap between these two and the rest of the competitors is much bigger - the bronze medallist, Swedish Martin Johansson, finished 36 seconds after the winner.
