The story
Hiroyuki Imai won the men's interval start classic at the FIS Cross-Country Continental Cup meeting in Hakuba, Japan, on 12 February 2000. The completed FIS classification places Hiroshi Kudo second and Osamu Yamagishi third, so the archive treats this result as one underlying competition development.
How it unfolded
Hiroyuki Imai (Japan) recorded 28:21.8. Hiroshi Kudo (Japan) followed at +30.8, while Osamu Yamagishi (Japan) completed the leading three at +32.5. The gaps are reported exactly in the format published by FIS.
The wider picture
The federation's event page separately identifies the Continental Cup programme and confirms the discipline, gender, venue and date. The historical competition date remains distinct from iintroo's later archive-publication timestamp; no championship title or season ranking is inferred from this single result. No event photograph is reproduced because exact republication rights were not established.
