Medals were awarded in four individual disciplines for men and women, as well as in a mixed relay competition. Two of the disciplines, a sprint and a mass start race, for both women and men, took place in cross- country running, while a sprint and a pursuit race for men and women were held on roller skis . The relay competition was held in the cross-country discipline. Almost simultaneously, usually only a few minutes apart, the Junior World Championships in the respective disciplines took place.

Alexei Katrenko became the most successful participant, he won two titles and a bronze medal in cross country. Natalja Sokolowa won both individual titles in the women. Kaisa Mäkäräinen also became a two-time world champion in roller skiing .
