Tom Pidcock is gold medal! According to Mathias Fluckiger and 3rd David Serrano, who takes away a Nino Schurter the bronze medal.
From the start, all the best in front, including our Gerhard Kerschbaumer, who, as expected, took advantage of the less chaotic phases of the Olympic event (fewer starters than other events) in order not to remain entangled in the group.
Luca Braidot is also very busy in the early stages of the start while Nadir Colledani always on a dull day and travels around the 25th position. But immediately the first surprise of the day takes place: Mathieu Van Der Poel stalls during the 1st lap in one of the most technical drops. Really a pity and, if we want to spice up a bit, would anything have changed if Van Der Poel had had the telescopic? The answer is up to you.

During the race, Luca Braidot loses his shine, as does Gerhard Kerschbaumer. Meanwhile, the fires light up in front of Tom Pidcock who increases and makes everyone jump a bit, apart from Fluckiger who always remains at about twenty seconds and tries everything to grab him.
In the meantime, Cink knocks out and is forced to retire, just as Nadir Colledani is also forced to retire. Close fight for bronze between Anton Cooper, Nino Schurter, David Serrano and Victor Koretzky.
The English Pidcock goes on to win the Tokyo Olympics, ahead of Mathis Flucikger and David Serrano. Too bad for Nino Schurter who has to settle for 4th place.
First of the Italians Kerschbaumer who closes in 20th position. Following Luca Braidot, 25th position.
