From the start, Italian shooting star Luca Braidot sets the tone and hands over to junior Marco Betteo in the lead after the first lap. U23 rider Dario Lillo lays a solid foundation on the first lap and hands over to Swiss junior Khalid Sidahmed in fifth position, just under 30 seconds behind. He immediately tries to make up positions, but is then passed back to sixth place by the U23 riders Oliver Solvhoj (DEN) and Matthew Wilson (NZL).

While the defending champions from France secure the lead for the time being in front of their home crowd, Ramona Forchini starts the race. She makes up a total of two positions and hands over to U23 rider Ronja Blöchlinger. The rider from eastern Switzerland overtakes the juniors Lauren Molengraaf (NED) and Valentina Corvi (ITA), then completes her lap in second place.

Like many nations, the Swiss also send a junior into the race as the penultimate skier. France, with Tatjana Tournut in the lead, slowly loses ground to Switzerland with Anina Hutter. In the lead, Hutter sends Nino Schurter into the final lap. Italy and the USA are now in second and third place, while France drops back to seventh. Despite Jordan Sarrou's absolute best lap time, Grande Nation has to settle for fifth place in the end.

Nino Schurter rode a flat tire on the final lap, but his pursuers, the U23 riders Simone Avondetto (ITA) and Riley Amos (USA), could do nothing more, as both were practically as fast as Schurter. Schurter then leaves his team-mates and himself in the lead and rides to the gold medal with a six-second advantage.
