Brief report:
At twenty kilometers, a top group of twelve had formed, which also included defending champion Stefano Baldini . After increasing the pace, four runners took the lead shortly after the half-time mark: Viktor Röthlin, José Manuel Martínez, Ruggero Pertil and the Frenchman James Theury . Baldini couldn't keep up and got out. Shortly after Pertile also had to let go, Röthlin took the lead at kilometer 28 and continuously expanded his lead to the finish. Theury, on the other hand, had overdone himself, kept falling back and finally gave up. Pertile fought his way up to Martínez again for a short time, but then, plagued by cramps, fell behind Dmitri Safronov, who had worked his way up from sixth place, in the last few kilometers. The Austrian Günther Weidlinger , who had belonged to the top group up to kilometer twenty, then fell continuously and finished in 18th place. With temperatures above 25 ° C, it was the slowest winning time since the European Championships in 1969 . The difficult external conditions also contributed to the fact that nineteen of the 64 athletes who started did not reach the finish line, including the Germans Martin Beckmann and Tobias Sauter and the Austrian Florian Prüller . The Liechtensteiner Marcel Tschopp came in 39th, the Austrian Christian Pflügl in 44th.
