Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) made the most of a big lead built up in the first half of the race to storm to victory in a punishing men's 4x10 km relay at the Beijing Olympics on Sunday. The ROC team finished one minute 7.2 seconds ahead of the Norwegian team, with France picking up a superb bronze medal after a dogged display, 9.2 seconds after Norway.
It was a mixed day for Britain, with Eve Muirhead’s curling team getting their semi-final bid back on track with a 10-5 victory over previously unbeaten USA, while Snowboard cross star Charlotte Bankes will leave Beijing without a medal after she teamed up with Huw Nightingale to finish fifth in the mixed event.
A heavy blizzard wreaked havoc at the Winter Olympics on Sunday and delayed the start of the second run in the men’s giant slalom, but there was a more humorous stoppage during the opening run of the event. Hong Kong’s Hau Tsuen Adrian Yung – one of 35 DNFs during Race 1 – was thankfully unhurt after stumbling on his way down the ‘Ice River’, but race referee Markus Waldner and assistant Emmanuel Couder still had to halt proceedings due to the mysterious case of a missing ski.

Alexander Bolshunov earned his second gold medal at Beijing 2022 by helping the Russian Olympic Committee win the men's 4x10km cross-country skiing relay, giving his team a massive lead that they never relinquished. The Russian quartet of Alexey Chervotkin, Bolshunov, Denis Spitsov and Sergey Ustiugov finished more than a minute clear of the chasing pack in a race that was effectively decided by the halfway stage.
