ROM fulfilled all expectations by winning the gold medal, and coming through GER in
the last 500 meters to do so. The question posed in the Prediction for this race was
whether the USA silver medalists from last year's Worlds could "stop GER from moving
away in the 3rd 500." The USA could not, and GER passed the USA in the 3rd 500 to win
the silver medal, with the USA taking the bronze. AUS, SUI and NED placed 4th, 5th and
6th. Look at the JAMCO Replay to gauge the moves of these
