DAVOS, Switzerland— Martin Sundby of Norway reclaimed his World Cup points lead in Davos, Switzerland as he dominated the 15 k classic. While it originally looked as if home-country favorite, Dario Cologna would win on skate skis, the Olympic champion eventually ended his day in third. Canada’s Alex Harvey was the top North American after finishing in 17th position. He said the result was one of his best-ever distance races at altitude.
