Therese Johaug and Martin Johnsrud Sundby of Norway extended their winning streaks in distance races at a cross-country skiing World Cup meeting on Sunday.
Johaug won her fifth successive race for the first time in a season, while it was a fourth straight victory for Sundby.

Norway's Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg was third, 40.1 behind her compatriot.
Sundby was one of many men who opted for skate skis and double pole over the entire 15-kilometre course and he beat Russia's Alexander Bessmertnykh, who was on classic skis, by 12.6 seconds.
Norway's Sjur Roethe was third, 48.6 off Sundby's winning time of 35:27.4.
On the Canadian side, Alex Harvey, from St-Férréol-les-Neiges, Que., finished 16th with a time of 36:57.3. He was followed by Sudbury, Ont., native Devon Kershaw, who came in 28th at 37:42.1.
