            Russians Dominate Final Day of Winter Olympics in Sochi

   Russians have dominated the competition on the final day of the Winter
   Olympics they hosted in Sochi.
   Russian skiers won gold, silver and bronze in the first of the day`s
   three medal events. Alexander Legkov finished ahead of two countrymen
   to win the grueling 50-kilometer cross-country mass start.
   Later, the hosts took the gold in the 4-man bobsleigh, led by Alexander
   Zubkov, who had already won the 2-man event. Latvia earned the silver
   medal Sunday, and the United States took the third-place bronze,
   piloted by Steven Holcomb in his favorite event.
   The only competition that remains before what is expected to be a
   spectacular Closing Ceremony is the gold-medal men`s hockey game
   between defending champion Canada and Sweden.
   Russia ends up with both the most overall and gold medals at the 2014
   Games. The hosts finished with 33 total medals - 13 of them gold.
   The U.S. has 28 medals, followed by Norway with 26. Norway followed
   Russia in gold medals with 11. Canada could stand alone in third with a
   hockey victory. Canada is currently tied with the U.S. with nine gold
   medals.
   Despite strong threats of violence ahead of the Sochi Games, the
   Olympics have been very safe heading into the final day.
   The next Winter Games will take place in South Korea in 2018.
