 | | Rintje Ritsma of the Netherlands clinched his fourth men’s world title with a late burst of speed in the final 10,000 meters race, with a time good enough to take him past the points total of competition leader and fellow Dutchman Ids Postma, who finished second. |
 | | Ritsma’s blistering 13:56.07 win against Canada’ Dustin Molicki in the penultimate heat left Postma needing better than 14:02.60 to grab the title but, by the halfway point, Postma began to slow, dropping half a second per lap until finishing with a disappointing 14:17.51. |
 | | Belgium’s Bart Veldkamp finished third after posting the overall fastest times in the 5,000 and 10,000-meter distances, but poor results in the 500 and 1,500 meters left him unable to match the more consistent Dutchmen, who both placed in the top 10 at every distance. |
