The men’s 10 kilometre freestyle competition in cross-country skiing at the 2026 Winter Olympics will be held on 13 February, at the Cross country and biathlon center Fabio Canal in Tesero.[1] This will be the first time men’s 10 kilometres is contested at the Olympics since 1998. The distance replaces the men’s 15 kilometre, contested previously.
Background
At the previous Olympics, the individual start race was 15 km; it was shortened to 10 km for the 2026 Winter Olympics by FIS to match men’s and women’s event distances. The 2022 champion Iivo Niskanen and the bronze medalist Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, qualified for the event. The silver medalist, Alexander Bolshunov was not allowed to participate because skiers from Russia could only participate as individual neutral athletes, and he did not obtain this status. Klæbo was leading both overall and distance standings of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup before the Olympics. He was also the 2025 world champion in the event.
