Johaug claims 2nd win in as many days in Falun

FALUN, Sweden (AP) Therese Johaug proved too strong again for the rest of the field in Falun to take her second cross-country World Cup victory in two days as Norway swept the podium on Sunday.

Johaug won the 10-kilometer freestyle after shaking off second-place Heidi Weng on the gruelling Morderbacken - ''Murder hill'' - to win by 8.75 seconds.

Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen was third, while Jessica Diggins of the United States came fourth.

In an exciting finish to a closely fought men's 15-kilometer race, Russia's Sergey Ustiugov won ahead of Italy's Francesco De Fabiani, who surged late to push overall leader Martin Johnsrud Sundby of Norway into third.
