Petter Northug of Norway skied a furious final leg to secure the silver for Norway, who finished 15.9 seconds behind Sweden. The Czechs took the bronze in 1:45.21.9. We have had a fantastic Olympics and of course weve been really well prepared for this, and thats the main reason weve been so successful, said Johan Olsson, Swedens second-leg skier who took the bronze in the pursuit. It was my goal to push really hard, I felt strong and could really turn it up on the second and third laps, he said. Anders Soedergren, Swedens third-leg skier, and Frances Maurice Manificat took turns pushing the pace on the third leg to maintain their large lead, before Hellner did the rest for the Swedes. The guys did a perfect job, Hellner said. I just had to close it out perfectly.   Custom Canucks JerseyWhile commissioner David Stern and NBPA executive director Billy Hunter each said no progress was made, both added that the more substantive talks are just beginning to form, and the sides agreed to meet on consecutive days next week in Dallas.Bulls Michael Jordan Jerseythe NHL bought back the franchise and players' contracts for $40000 and suspended its operations again.
