After the surprises in the 10 kilometres and 12.5 kilometres pursuit events, the 20 kilometres event proved to be kinder to the more favoured biathletes. The veteran Pole Tomasz Sikora, the first to go, finished a creditable 7th place after leading for a while. Of the other biathletes, Emil Hegle Svendsen set the pace with a time of 48:22.5, missing just one shot on the course. Yevgeny Ustyugov, the champion from the 15 km mass start event who started one place behind Svendsen, finished in a creditable 4th place in a time of 49:11.8. The drama was yet to come. Ole Einar Bjørndalen, starting 12th, finished in a time of 48:32.0. His skiing time was the fastest of all but his two missed targets cost him the chance of a victory. Nevertheless this was enough to put him into silver medal position. However starting much later, Sergey Novikov of Belarus became one of only two biathletes to hit all twenty targets and, at one time, looked as if he may surpass Svendsen’s time. However he faded towards the end and finished in exactly the same time as Bjørndalen, measured to the tenth of a second, to share the silver medal.
