Svendsen edges Fourcade to win mass start


ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) - Norway's Emil Hegle Svendsen claimed his third Olympic title and denied Frenchman Martin Fourcade a golden Sochi hat-trick in a photo finish to the delayed 15km biathlon mass start on Tuesday.

In a race twice postponed since Sunday because of fog, Svendsen and the Frenchman reached the final straight together but the Norwegian seemed to have sealed victory when he pulled away in the sprint for the line.
