| KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Marit Bjoergen has won her sixth Olympic gold by leading a Norwegian sweep in the womens 30-kilometre cross-country ski race at the Sochi Games. The Norwegian women finally displayed their dominance of the sport on Sunday, as Bjoergen pulled away from 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. The three Norwegians pulled away after the 10-kilometre mark and then built a gap of more than a minute on the rest of the field. Kerttu Niskanen of Finland was fourth, more than a minute behind. Brittany Webster of Caledon, Ont., was the top Canadian, finishing 46th in one hour 21 minutes and 5.5 seconds. Whitehorses Emily Nishikawa was 47th in 1:21:38.6, followed by Amanda Ammar of Onoway, Alta., who placed 49th in 1:22:03.7 and Heidi Widmer of Banff, Alta., who was 52nd in 1:24:11.5. . The biggest collapse in franchise history was a long time ago, and he was too busy trying to make sure it didnt happen again. . -- Manager Bob Melvin shuffled the Athletics batting order and got the type of production he was looking for from the top of the lineup. . -- Canada played to expectation up until halftime. . The young man, never lacking confidence, thought he could be really good. . -- Jim Furyk was 10 shots worse and right where he wanted to be Saturday in the BMW Championship.Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs is hoping the experience of the League Cup final defeat to Ross County will benefit his players in Saturdays Scottish Cup final, live on Sky Sports. Hibs will be looking to end the season on a high at Hampden against Championship winners Rangers after losing 2-1 to County at the same ground in March and then missing out on a place in the Premiership through the play-offs.And former Celtic defender Stubbs believes his players may use those setbacks to spur them on against their newly promoted rivals, whom they have beaten twice in the league this season. Stubbs is expecting to see goals at the national stadium this weekend Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ the Englishman said: I think it can certainly help. We performed well in the final and it was unfortunate in the end the way it worked out.But I think on Saturday its got the makings of a great game. Two teams that will look to try and play, and if you are going by results this season it certainly looks like there will be goals in the game.I think in the league when you look at it we are sitting at two apiece, theyve been close games all of those four games, and I dont see Saturday being too dissimilar. Two very good football teams and I think its got the makings of a fantastic game.Hibernian endured another late heartache last week when they were beaten in the play-off semi-final against Falkirk.Stubbs has had a week to lift his players, but he believes the occasion will help as Hibs look to win the competition for the first time since 1902, a statistic they are reminded of every season.Just telling them about the game on Saturday, II think if anyone needs lifting then you only have to look at this game, Stubbs said.ddddddddddddo play in a Scottish Cup final, a lot of these players would have dreamt of that since they were boys and it will be the same on the Rangers team, and on Saturday they get to fulfil a dream and they just need to finish it off and be the one thats lifting the cup. Rangers and Hibs shared two wins apiece in the Championship this season With the length of the wait everybody is always talking about it, its always a talking point. Every year the tournament comes round were reminded of it, and on Saturday we have an opportunity to end that wait and thats what well be trying our hardest to do.In the games that weve won against Rangers weve played two different formations, weve played with four at the back and weve played with three at the back, so well decide a little bit closer to the game what we end up going with, but whatever team goes out on Saturday will be one that is capable of getting a result. Were certainly disappointed, theres no point hiding that fact, but on Saturday we have another opportunity to create a bit of history, and all out focus and attention is purely on Saturday and trying to get a result and trying to give them something that some of them have waited an awful long time for.
