Norwegians extend cross-country winning streak

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.

Johaug finished the 10-kilometre women's classic interval start race in 27 minutes, 22.4 seconds — more than 28 seconds ahead of Finland's Krista Parmakoski.

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. Graeme Killick from Fort McMurray, Alta., (54th), Michael Somppi from Thunder Bay, Ont., (70th) and Len Valjas from Toronto (75th) round off the Canadian results. 

In the women's event, Canadian Emily Nishikawa from Whitehorse, Yukon finished 39th with a time of 30:32.5.
