Written by on February 4th, 2012 in Latest News.
Canada’s Devon Kershaw won a World Cup cross-country race for the first time Saturday, capturing a 15-kilometre freestyle mass start race at Moscow.
He finished in 36 minutes, 47.5 seconds, rallying past Russia’s Ilia Chernousov by 0.9 seconds at the end line. Tobias Angerer of Germany was third, 1.6 seconds behind the winner.
It was Kershaw’s third straight top-three end. He was third in the 15K classical race in Otepea, Estonia, two weeks ago and third in a sprint race in Moscow on Thursday.
