Results

Anatoly Alyabyev had never had a major result on the international scene, but had a great debut at Lake Placid. He had only the 10th best ski time, but won as a result of shooting clear, the only man in the field to do so. Frank Ullrich had a spectacular ski performance, having the best time by more than 30 seconds, meaning his three penalties still left in him silver medal position. Eberhard Rösch took bronze with just two minutes in penalties; only Alyabyev skied under 1 hour 10 with less. World champion Klaus Siebert had a good ski time, but faced 6 minutes in penalties, and ended up 15th.[1]
