KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — They're wild about snowboarding in Russia now.

All it took was a fuzzy faced, fired-up native from the western U.S. to do it.

American by birth, Russian by marriage and by choice, Vic Wild completed a historic sweep of the Olympic snowboard parallel slalom events to give his adopted country a boost in the race to top the medals table in Sochi.

Wild edged Zan Kosir of Slovenia by 0.11 seconds in Saturday's parallel slalom final to win his second gold medal of the games.

The win capped a remarkable four days for the guy from White Salmon, Wash., who is married to Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina and earlier won gold in parallel giant slalom.

The 27-year-old narrowly escaped the semifinals in Saturday's parallel slalom. He lost an edge in the first heat and trailed Benjamin Karl of Austria by 1.12 seconds heading into the deciding race. Wild somehow made up the difference during a frantic sprint down Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, stretching his hand across the finish line first to win by inches.

The final wasn't drama-free either. Wild took a .12 lead over Kosir — who earned bronze in the PGS — after the first run and held the Slovenian snowboarder at bay in the final. Wild thrust his arms into the air in triumph while the decidedly pro-Russian crowd chanted “Vitya.”

“This right here, two golds, this puts him in a whole different stratosphere,” said Wild's brother, Mike. “He'll go down in history. This is what it's all about.”

And it further validated Wild's decision to marry Zavarzina in 2011. The two friends became romantically involved in 2009 before being wed nearly three years ago. Wild saw it as a chance to live with his best friend and join a lightly regarded Russian snowboarding team looking to make splash in Sochi.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Marit Bjoergen became the most decorated female Winter Olympian in history Saturday by leading a Norwegian sweep in the women's 30-kilometer cross-country ski race at the Sochi Games.Bjoergen won her sixth Olympic gold, to go with three silvers and a bronze. Her career total of 10 puts her ahead of Russian cross-country skier Lyubov Egorova, who had six golds and three silvers.Two other women — Stafania Belmondo of Italy and Soviet skier Raisa Smetanina — also have 10 medals in cross-country, but fewer golds.The Norwegian women finally displayed their dominance of the sport on Sunday, as Bjoergen pulled away from teammate Therese Johaug heading into the stadium and sprinted alone to win her third gold of the Sochi Olympics.She also won three gold medals in Vancouver.Johaug took silver and Kristin Stoermer Steira was third. “It's incredible. We're all Norwegian and we're all on the podium,” Bjoergen said. “This has been a goal for me for a long time. I thought the 30K would be hard but I've felt very good in the last days.”

SOCHI, Russia — The Ukrainian Olympic Committee says cross-country skier Marina Lisogor has failed a doping test, the third positive result of the Sochi Games.Lisogor tested positive for trimetazidine, which is classified as a “specified stimulant” on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list. Specified substances are considered more susceptible to inadvertent use.
