Ole Einar Bjoerndalen has expressed his delight with his triumph in the biathlon 10km sprint at the Sochi Games.

The 40-year-old Norwegian equalled the record for most medals (12) won at the Winter Olympics with the gold.

"This victory has been a four-year job and it has been many years since I won [an individual gold medal], but life is too short to give up," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"I think this is one of my most important victories."

Austria's Dominik Landertinger came second, while Jaroslav Soukup of the Czech Republic finished third.
