After sweeping the board yesterday, it was more of the same today as Russia secured five of the six titles on offer with Vancouver 2010 gold medallist Kononova the only skier to buck the trend.

Kononova, winning her third gold medal of the week, and teammate Iuliia Batenkova, finished first and second in the women's standing pursuit race ahead of Russia's Alena Kaufman, who leads the rankings heading into the last two World Cups in Germany this month.

Russian Azat Karachurin followed up his short distance win from yesterday by taking the men's standing race finishing in a time of 38min 54.02sec, well clear of Ukraine's biathlon middle distance world champion Ihor Reptyukh, with Norway's Nils-Erik Ulset securing third.

In the absence of World Cup rankings leader and Vancouver 2010 silver medallist Roman Petushkov, short distance world champion Grigory Murygin led the field in the men's 12.5 kilometres sitting event.

Murygin finished clear of compatriot Aliaksandr Davidovich while Japan's Kuzo Kubo picked up another minor medal.

Svetlana Konovalova picked up her first win of the week in her final outing after crossing the line first in the women's 10km sitting event, to deny Germany's Andrea Eskau a hat-trick of wins in Finland.

Eskau had to make do with a bronze medal with Konovalova's teammate Marta Zaynullina securing the silver.
