ROSA KHUTOR — Russia continued its domination of Sochi Paralympic cross-country skiing as Rushan Minnegulov sped to victory in the men's 20-kilometer standing event.
Minnegulov led at every stage of the race as he finished in a time of 50 minutes 55.1 seconds, a full 36.4 seconds ahead of second-placed Finn Ilkka Tuomisto.
The bronze went to Russia's Vladislav Lekomtsev, who won the 7.5km biathlon event on Saturday.
Paralympic cross-country events use the principle of "calculated time," under which an athlete's time is modified by a percentage reflecting the severity of their disability.
