Man, we proved today and all week we are here to stay and the USA guys are in good form, so it was awesome,” Ogden said. “I’ve had some really tough races, teaching myself to believe through all that and be confident in myself and in my team.

Jessie Diggins is the most decorated cross-country skier in American history. She is also ranked as the best cross-country skier in the world, in a sport that rewards only the most spectacularly fit. Now competing in her fourth and final Olympics, the three-time Olympic medalist arrives at Milan as a different athlete than she was at her first Games.
