The 10Km race was on the 25th Sept. I have not been able to get any photos, but the winners of the mens race was a Russian in 109 minutes, with an Italian 4 seconds behind him and a third place Russian 1 second behind him.
That's a close race after 10Km !!

The womens 10Km race was even closer with the winning German just 3 hundreds of a second in front of a Italian. Her time was 116 minutes. The third place German was 7 seconds behind
