Kramer was this weekend barely threatened in Minsk and was traditionally the best over the long haul. The 29-year-old leader of Lotto Jumbo ended the tournament Sunday with a win at the 10th kilometer of 13.11,99, after he sat all the five kilometers to his name. Only 1500 meters (fifth in 1.48,08) was a little disappointing.
Swings 13.15,47 ended second in the final contest, making the 24-year-old Fleming first won a medal at the European Championships. He is after Bart Veldkamp (silver in 2001), the second Belgian to be on the podium at the European Championships.
Blokhuijsen was after the first day second in the standings, but the North Hollander slumped after a moderate 1500m (ninth time) for the third place and he could catch up to his teammate Swings not make up for the 10 km.
The former European champion set the third fastest time in the final distance (13.22 , 14) and finished in the standings by more than 0.7 point of the silver
