Eder wins season biathlon finale

Austria's Simon Eder won Sunday's mass start here, the final event of the men's biathlon World Cup season.

Eder covered the 15km circuit in a time of 37min 14.4sec without picking up any penalty points to beat his compatriot Dominik Landertinger by 12.1sec with Norwegian Ole Einar Bjoerndalen 17s adrift in third.

Landertinger took the mass-start title while Bjoerndalen had already wrapped up a record sixth overall World Cup title with a tally of seven wins and eight other podium finishes throughout the season.

That saw the 35-year-old finish on 1080 points, well clear of second-placed Tomasz Sikora of Poland (870) and his fellow Norwegian Emil Hegle Svendsen (844).
