Inside an Olympic Gold Finish with Skiiers Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall
Olympians Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall made history at this year's winter games. The duo accomplished what no American woman had done before, capturing a medal in cross-country skiing. The pair share their experience in achieving gold in the team sprint free final.
"It's been a total whirlwind--I don't think there's actually any way we could have prepared for what it was going to feel like," said Diggins.
"It was well worth the wait," said Randall who won the gold after eighteen tries in this competition. "It's just an amazing--satisfying feeling."
The Las Vegas Aces became the first team in 21 years to win back-to-back WNBA championships, getting 24 points and 16 rebounds from A’ja Wilson and a defensive stop in the closing seconds to beat the New York Liberty 70-69 in Game 4 of the Finals.
American officials expressed disappointment Monday after learning that bobsled, skeleton and luge events will not be held in Italy during the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, a move that means athletes from those sports will likely be competing in either Austria or Switzerland during the games.
