All of the favorites in this event had their claims of fame in other skating disciplines. Defending champion Lee Seung-Hoon had been a world champion in short track, as had the #2 in the World Cup ranking, Ruslan Zakharov. Three-time world champion Joey Mantia was a 28-time world champion in inline speed skating, while the Belgian leader in the World Cup was Bart Swings, who held 15 titles in that sport. Outsider Jorrit Bergsma, the 2020 world champion, was also a former Dutch champion in marathon skating.

The main surprise of the semi-finals was the elimination of Zakharov. The 2014 Olympic short track champion suffered a fall and was unable to qualify. The final was dominated by Swings. He personally quashed all run-away attempts. With two laps to go, Bergsma sped up for a long sprint, but most of the pack was able to follow. At the bell, Swings took the lead, only to be quickly overtaken by Lee. The Korean still headed the field as Swings passed him on the outside. Meanwhile, both Mantia and Lee’s compatriot Jeong Jae-Won tried to overtake from the inside.

Swings crossed the line for the first Belgian gold medal at the Olympic Winter Games since 1948, when Micheline Lannoy and Pierre Baugniet won the figure skating pairs event. Only 0.07 seconds behind him, Jeong emerged second based on the photo finish. The difference between third and fourth was even smaller, with just 0.002 separating Lee’s bronze from Mantia’s fourth place.
