The Men's sprint cross-country skiing competition in the classical technique at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada was held on 17 February at Whistler Olympic Park in Whistler, British Columbia.[1]
Sweden's Björn Lind was the defending Olympic champion in this event, though the event was in the freestyle technique.[2] Norway's Ola Vigen Hattestad was the defending world champion in this event which was also held in freestyle technique.[3] Emil Jönsson of Sweden won the test event that took place at Olympic venue on 16 January 2009.[4] The last World Cup event prior to the 2010 Games in this format took place on 6 February 2010 in Canmore, Alberta and was won by Jönsson.[5]
Lind was eliminated in the quarterfinals, Jönsson was eliminated in the semifinals, and Hattestad finished fourth. It is the first Olympic medals for all three finishers.[6] The event ended in a photofinish between Russians Nikita Kriukov and Alexander Panzhinskiy with Kriukov edging out Panzhinsky who had led most of the race.[7]
