Jessie Diggins leads historic U.S. 1-2 in cross-country skiing World Cup

Jessie Diggins and Rosie Brennan notched the first-ever U.S. one-two in a World Cup women’s cross-country race on Sunday.

Diggins, the 2018 Olympic team sprint champion with now-retired Kikkan Randall, won a 10km freestyle pursuit in Val Mustair, Switzerland, as part of the annual Tour de Ski.

“I kept thinking every lap I’m going to get dropped,” said Diggins, who along with Brennan, overtook Swede Frida Karlsson. “I was just hanging on by a thread.”

Brennan, the World Cup overall standings leader, was 5.6 seconds back. Full results are here.
