MEDAL FINISH

-

Biathlon No. 1 Martin Fourcade of France won the 12.5-kilometre pursuit, bouncing back from a disappoint­ing eighth-place finish in the sprint race to hit 19 of his 20 targets to claim his third Olympic gold medal. Sebastian Samuelsson of Sweden took silver and Benedikt Doll of Germany earned bronze.

Maren Lundby of Norway turned World Cup ski-jumping domination into Olympic gold with a jump of 110 metres for 264.6 points, proving a minor crash during training wasn’t going to affect her. Lundby won six of 10 events on the World Cup circuit. Katharina Althaus of Germany was second, followed by Sara Takanashi of Japan.
