Cross-country skiers win world championship bronze

Czech cross-country skiers Dusan Kozisek and Milan Sperl have surprisingly won a bronze medal in the men's team sprint at the world ski championships in Sapporo, Japan. Kozisek and Sperl finished less than a second behind the Italian pairing of Renato Pasini and Cristian Zorzi with a time of 17.51 seconds. It was a particularly sweet moment for both men who had been at the centre of a selection mix-up during an Olympic relay race in Turin last year, which scuppered the Czech Republic's chances of a medal in the event.
