In what will go down as one of the best and closest Olympic Finals in history, Mahe Drysale of New Zealand defeated Damir Martin of Croatia by less than the length of a bow ball, each finishing with 6:41.34.  After a several minute delay and an analysis of the finish line camera, Drysdale was named champion.  Read the post race interview with Drysdale here, which includes finish line camera image.
