At the beginning of the distance, Auziņa immediately settled in the top three together with Italian Eliza Sordello and Swedish Jacqueline Lockner.

The Scandinavian remained second, while Kitija Auzinas finished third.

In an interview with Latvian Television, Auziņa told that the plan was to stay with the leaders in the distance until the end, but the fatigue accumulated in the three days before the competition made itself felt.

Raimo Vīgants was Latvia’s main hope in the men’s 20-kilometer distance. Everything became clear again at the finish line, where Wiegants finished fourth after passing three Italians. Only one tenth of a second separated him from the bronze.
