The final result
René Reisshauer won the men's 30km classical race at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships in Štrbské Pleso on 30 January 2000. The German finished in 1:36:37.5, with Vassili Rotchev second at 25.7 seconds and Dmitri Tichkine third at 48.6. The scanned contemporary official protocol confirms the distance, technique, date and final times.
The course consisted of four 7.5km laps on the Cervena track. Reisshauer also led the listed 15km split in 47:23.0. Evgeni Lukanov finished fourth at 1:33.5, Ron Spanuth fifth at 2:17.6 and Espen Harald Bjerke sixth at 3:05.6. Russia took three consecutive positions from second to fourth, while Germany held first and fifth.
The classical race was a separate completed championship event from the earlier freestyle interval race and sprint. Its official protocol records the start time as 10:30 and preserves the contemporary national codes, avoiding the modern neutral-athlete labels shown on parts of FIS's current database. Reisshauer's gold result is supported by both the database's leading classification and the original scanned result sheet.
