Darya Domracheva wins second biathlon gold for Belarus

Belarusian athlete Darya Domracheva wins her second gold of the Sochi Winter Olympics with a start-to-finish victory in the women's 15km individual biathlon.

Belarusian athlete Darya Domracheva has won her second gold medal of the 2014 Winter Olympics with victory in the women's 15km individual biathlon.

The 27-year-old survived receiving one penalty to complete the course in 43:19.6 after leading from the first shooting phase.

She pipped Switzerland's Selina Gasparin to first place, with the runner-up finishing one minute and 15 seconds behind Domracheva, who triumphed in the women's pursuit earlier this week.

Her Belarusian compatriot Nedezhda Skardino, who was one minute and 38 seconds adrift in third, will join her on the podium in Sochi, taking their country's tally for the Games to three medals.

Team GB's Amanda Lightfoot finished in 71st place at her first Olympic Games.
