The men's 50 kilometre freestyle cross-country skiing competition at the 2014 Sochi Olympics took place on 23 February at Laura Biathlon & Ski Complex.[1] The podium was taken by Alexander Legkov (gold), Maxim Vylegzhanin (silver), and Ilia Chernousov (bronze), all represented Russia. This was the first clean sweep in men's cross-country skiing since 1992, when all medals were won by Norwegians and the first ever for Russia/Soviet Union. For all medalists, this was the first individual Olympic medal.

Qualification[edit]

An athlete with a maximum of 100 FIS distance points (the A standard) were allowed to compete in both or one of the event (sprint/distance). An athlete with a maximum 120 FIS sprint points were allowed to compete in the sprint event and 10 km for women or 15 km for men provided their distance points do not exceed 300 FIS points. NOC's who did not have any athlete meeting the A standard can enter one competitor of each sex (known as the basic quota) in only 10 km classical event for women or 15 km classical event for men. They must have a maximum of 300 FIS distance points at the end of qualifying on 20 January 2014. The qualification period began in July 2012.[2]
