Beijing 2022: Getting a Top Ten

Today's discovery; there are two different kinds of cross country skiing.  First is free-style that utilizes a skating move, and then event where Jessie Diggins (USA) took a Bronze medal in the Sprint race.  And then there is the classic, where the skiier keeps their skis in line and stays in a track with a more walking king of motion.  That is this event where Diggins could manage an eigth place in the 15K Classic race.  It does please me that I do get to continue to learn about details of the Olympics having watched the games since I was a kid back in the 60s.

Bejing 2022: Sprinting for Metals

Go with me here, the title might look like a mis-spelling but they are sprinting for medals in the Women's Cross Country Sprint and those medals are made of metal.  Therefore, "metals" in the title really isn't a mistake, but instead a fun play on words.  Jonna Sundling (Sweden) sprinted away from the field to take the Gold Medal.  Her teammate and the American Jessie Diggins (USA) fought it out for the other two steps of the podium with Diggins just missing out and taking the Bronze medal.  It is the first ever cross country individual women's medal for the USA.

Olympics 2018: Up the Final Climb

The American, Jess Diggins, was posting very impressive times as she neared the finish line in the Women's 10K.  Going as hard up the final climb as she possibly could, she managed to finish the day in 5th overall.  A great showing since due to the tie for Bronze, she was only one step (or just 5 seconds) off of the podium.
