"Our expectations were only to win. Especially because of Yesterday, we need to re-establish ourselves," said Mizurov.

Taking leading position by turns, they clocked one hour 24 minutes and 40.67 seconds to take the gold. Iran took the silver in 1:25:56.60, while Japan finished third in 1:26:01.49.
