Alexander Legkov made sure the Russian flag finally flew highest at the Sochi cross-country skiing venue - and for these entire Olympic Games. On the last day of the games, Legkov led a Russian medal sweep in the men's 50-kilometer race to give the host nation its first cross-country gold at the Sochi Games. It also clinched top spot in the overall medals table for Russia with 12 golds and 32 medals overall. ''To win a gold medal on the final day, and win the medals table for Russia, I couldn't be happier,'' Legkov said.
