14.05.2006
La Coruna, Spain - This time Denis Nizhegorodov did remember the finish. The Russian punched the air and draped himself in a flag at the end of the 50km to enjoy a win in stark contrast to his haggard features as he limped to Olympic silver in 2004. Then the 25-year-old recovered came round in a medical tent to ask what the result had been.
