Norway's Svendsen dominates sprint race

Ostersund, Sweden - Emil Hegle Svendsen dominated a biathlon World Cup sprint race on Saturday while fellow-Norwegian star Ole Einar Bjoerndalen missed the podium by a fraction. The two-time 2008 world champion Svendsen missed one of 10 targets in the shooting range and won the 10-kilometres race in 25 minutes 42.3 seconds. It was the seventh career win for the 23-year-old. Tomasz Sikora of Poland trailed by 12.7 seconds in second place, also with one penalty loop. Simon Fourcade of France was third, 28.1 seconds off the pace after hitting all targets. The 81-time World Cup race winner Bjoerndalen missed one shot as he fell short of Fourcade's time by one tenth of a second. A women's 7.5km sprint was scheduled for later Saturday in Ostersund.
