AFP - Darya Domracheva won the women's World Cup pursuit on Sunday to follow up her victory in the 7.5km sprint here 24 hours earlier.

The Belarus, due to her sprint success, started first and maintained that position despite picking up one penalty and a strong challenge from Germany's Magdelena Neuner.

Domracheva, who won 15km bronze at the Vancouver Olympics, covered the 10km circuit in 31min 32.6sec, 12s clear of Neuner, who had three penalties, and 18s up on Simone Hauswald.

Neuner's performance earned her the biathlon pursuit title and consolidated the double Olympic champion's position at the top of the overall standings with five events remaining.
