The ski jumping winner, Akito Watabe, and the seventh place, Eero Hirvonen, were separated at the start of the cross-country skiing race by 40 seconds. They soon after the start formed a group and skied together, well ahead of the rest of the field. Wilhelm Denifl dropped out of this group, but the rest went together until the finish. There, the German trio finished ahead of Jarl Magnus Riiber, Watabe, and Hirvonen.
