March 17, 2010 |THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Russia's Nikita Kriukov has won a men's cross-country sprint ahead of overall World Cup champion Petter Northug of Norway.

Sweden's Emil Jonsson finished third Wednesday in the 1.1-kilometre race around the Royal Palace in downtown Stockholm.

Anna Olsson of Sweden led the women's race from the start, but just barely edged overall World Cup leader Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland in the final stretch. Olympic sprint champion Marit Bjoergen of Norway was third, 0.4 seconds behind Olsson.
