In a close race for third, Tobias Angerer of Germany stretched his left leg to beat Eugeniy Dementiev of Russia by a couple of centimeters at the finish line as both were timed at 8.3 seconds behind the winner.

The women’s 15-kilometer skiathlon was scheduled to wrap up the World Cup leg in Russia.
