Kushnir wins fifth Belarus gold

Belarus freestyle skier Anton Kushnir has won his nation's fifth gold medal of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Kushnir's score of 134.50 secured the victory, well ahead of Australia's silver medallist David Morris (110.41) and China's Jia Zongyang (95.06) who secured bronze.

Alla Tsuper won Belarus's first gold in Sochi during the women's equivalent event on Friday.

This is Kushnir's third Winter Olympic appearance, but the 29-year-old has never previously finished in the top 10.
