Another Cross Country gold for Northug
Northug continues to dominate the overall World Cup rankings on 600 points, nearly 200 clear of his rivals Cologna with 408. With Norway's cross country queen Marit Bjørgen away sick, it was time for Poland’s Justyna Kowalczyk to win the women's 10km race at Rogla, her first World Cup win of the season. This lifted Kowalczyk to fifth in the overall World Cup standings but Bjørgen is still at the top, 103 points clear of rival and team-mate Skofterud. Norway’s Therese Johaug placed second, while compatriot Vibeke Skofterud was third. (NRK/Aftenposten)
