Russia, Norway win team cross-country sprints at worlds


Russia won the men's cross-country skiing team sprint at the world championships Sunday after a dramatic last-lap crash wrecked the chances of the two leading teams. Sergei Ustyugov took the win for Russia, overtaking Italian Federico Pellegrino on the final stretch to win by 2.2 seconds. The team sprint is a 6x1.3-kilometer relay, with each country's skiers alternating to race three legs each. Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla and Heidi Weng won the women's team sprint by 5.6 seconds for Norway's third win from three women's cross-country events at the championships. The Germans added another gold medal with a dominant victory in the mixed team ski jumping.
