The 2009 World Championships come to an end tomorrow with the men’s 50km freestyle mass start.  The US will start two skiers, James Southam and Garrott Kuzzy.  Kuzzy should be well rested, after racing only the individual sprint.  Southam, on the other hand, has raced the 15km classic, the pursuit, and the relay.  Canada will also start two skiers, Ivan Babikov and Chris Butler.  A beast on skate skis, Babikov should battle in the top pack.

Favorites include Pietro Piller Cottrer (ITA), Vincent Vittoz (FRA), Petter Northug (NOR), Tobias Angerer (GER), and Giorgio DiCenta (ITA).
