Marit Bjoergen moved into a tie for the most career Winter Olympic medals with 13 after helping the Norwegian women to a first-place finish in the cross-country relay.

Bjoergen tied male biathlete and fellow Norwegian Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, and can move into sole possession of the record with a medal in either one of the last two women鈥檚 events: the team sprint relay Wednesday or in the mass start.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 think about that now,鈥 Bjoergen said. 鈥淚鈥檓 just focused on each race and I think I have to look behind me after the Olympics and see how many medals I have.鈥

Sweden finished second, and a team of Russians were third.
