Alexander Legkov’s victory in the men’s 50-kilometer cross-country race Sunday clinched the overall medals title for the host nation at the Sochi Games.
Legkov led a sweep of the podium for Russia in the 50K. Russia started the day tied with Norway for the most gold medals with 11 and with a 29-27 lead over the United States in total medals.
With only three events on the final day of competition – cross-country, four-man bobsled and the men’s hockey gold medal game – the Russians didn’t waste any time in sealing the deal.
Norway figured to challenge the Russians in cross-country, but Martin Johnsrud Sundby finished fourth while Russians Maxim Vylegzhanin and Ilia Chernousov took silver and bronze.
The three skiers had a wild celebration at the finish line.

The bio
Favourite book: Peter Rabbit. I used to read it to my three children and still read it myself. If I am feeling down it brings back good memories.
Best thing about your job: Getting to help people. My mum always told me never to pass up an opportunity to do a good deed.
Best part of life in the UAE: The weather. The constant sunshine is amazing and there is always something to do, you have so many options when it comes to how to spend your day.
Favourite holiday destination: Malaysia. I went there for my honeymoon and ended up volunteering to teach local children for a few hours each day. It is such a special place and I plan to retire there one day.
