hckošice 13,217 Posted February 5, 2017 Author #176 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Sweden and Russia win team sprint in PyeongChang Team Sweden I and Russia I have won the team sprint competitions in PyeongChang, Korea. In the ladies' competition it was a 4-team battle heading into the final lap between Sweden I, Norway I, USA I and USA II. Liz Stephen of the USA II team known best for her climbing ability up Alpe Cermis on the final stage of the Tour de Ski took control on the first climb of the stadium but was unable to hold off the charge of the Swedish team anchored by Maria Nordstroem and Norway's Silje Oeyre Slind on the final climb. In the end no one could match Nordstroem and she brought Sweden home to victory by 1.71 seconds ahead of Norway. In third was the USA I as Ida Sargent just out sprinted Stephen by 3.5 seconds. In the men's competition it was another team sprint photo finish, this time between Russia and France. Friday's classic sprint winner Gleb Retivykh brought Russia I to victory by just 0.03 seconds ahead of Lucas Chanavat of France. In third place was Russia II +5.52 seconds back.
