Rybinsk, Russia - Maxim Vylegzhanin won from Ilia Chernousov but German Tobias Angerer prevented a Russian podium sweep by coming third in a 30km double pursuit cross-country ski race on Sunday.
Vylegzhanin, 29, took first place in 1 hour 20 minutes 37.6 seconds to record his second World Cup career victory.
Chernousov trailed by 8.0 seconds in second place and Angerer pipped Russian Eugeniy Dementiev for third in a photo-finish after both crossed the line 8.3 seconds behind the winner.
World Cup leader Dario Cologna of Switzerland and second-placed Norwegian Petter Northug did not make the trip to Russia.
A women's 15km double pursuit was scheduled for later Sunday. Other Nordic skiing action was to be a Nordic combined event and ski-jumping, both in Val di Fiemme, Italy.
