Event Format: The individual sprint event begins with a qualifying round in which the cross country skiers start with an interval of 15 seconds and race a short course. The 30 fastest skiers in the qualifying round run quarterfinals, semifinals and finals on an approximately 1,5 km long course. The two fastest skiers in each heat and two "lucky loosers" advance to the next round. Six skiers compete in the final and the winner of the World Championship is the skier to finish first in the final. Event facts: Men's Sprint competition was held at the Granåsen |
