BEITOSTOELEN, Norway
Marit Bjorgen dominated the cross-country skiing World Cup opener on Saturday, winning a 10-kilometer freestyle race by nearly 30 seconds.



The Norwegian led from the start and finished in 24 minutes, 48.3 seconds to beat Charlotte Kalla of Sweden by 29.7 seconds. Anna Haag of Sweden was third, another 7.5 seconds back, while defending overall World Cup champion Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland was a disappointing 12th.

It was Bjorgen's 31st individual World Cup victory.

The men's World Cup opened with a 15K freestyle race later Saturday.
