 – Kris Freeman (Andover, NH) skied with the lead pack throughout the race and survived a late crash to finish 19th Saturday in the men's 30K pursuit (15K CL+15K FR) as cross country racing switched from sprints to distance at the 2007 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. </p>
<p>Former World Cup champion Axel Teichmann of Germany nipped teammate Tobias Angerer, the current World Cup champion and points leader, by a half-second at the finish with a time of 1:11.35.8. </p>
<p>Freeman skied with a pack of 20-25 skiers through all eight laps – four in the 15K classic technique phase and four on the 15K freestyle course – but a crash in the third skating leg cost him time and energy. When he caught the pack, the leaders took off and he eventually tired, finishing in 1:12.43.8. James Southam (Anchorage, AK) was 47th with Lars Flora (also Anchorage) 49th and Andrew Johnson (Greensboro, VT) 50th at the Shirahatayama course.</p>
