Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall Win Gold for USA in Cross-Country Skiing

By dailypost February 21, 2018 Sport No Comments

On Wednesday, Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall won Team USA’s first ever Olympics gold medal in cross-country skiing.

The Americans had not celebrated a medal in cross-country since Bill Koch took silver in the 30km race in Innsbruck in 1976.

Diggins held off the challenge of Sweden’s Stina Nilsson in a furious sprint for the line to win gold and Norway’s Marit Bjoergen became the most successful winter Olympian of all time with 14 medals after taking bronze with Maiken Caspersen Falla.

Diggins surged past and thrust her ski across the line 0.19 seconds ahead of Nilsson.
