The 7.5 km boys’ race held on Thursday at the Vesec venue ended in triumph for the German athletes. Collecting both gold and silver, the Germans stole a march on the favoured Norwegians and Finns. The best Czech, Petr Knop from Jablonec, finished 16th.

On Monday the winners’ rostrum for the 10 km classic run was occupied by Norwegians and a victorious Finn, yet Thursday’s free technique saw completely different results. The German skiers  prevailed in this race.

The title of the fastest “skater” of the Youth Olympic Festival in Liberec fell to Martin Weisheit, 17, with Martin Herzog, another member of the German team, right behind him. “Today’s race was very good and it went smoothly for me. I am very happy,” said the winner, Weisheit, at the finish.
Russian skier Roman Tarasov took the bronze. Norwegians gained some satisfaction despite lower rankings because as many as three of them made the top ten. Unfortunately this time they failed to secure any medals. Their highest finisher, Harvard Solas Taugbol from the Olympic Lillehammer, was fourth.

The best of the Czechs, Jablonec-based athlete, Petr Knop, had to make do with 22nd position. “This race was totally different from Monday’s. Shorter but tougher. The parts with very soft snow were the worst, but all in all it was a great race,” Knop evaluated his performance.
Karel Píč finished 25th but the other Czechs only featured in the middle of the large field: Filip Žižka in 43rd  place and David Nyč one position lower.
