Diggins Bronze Medal Highlights Historic Day for Americans in Freestyle Sprint


Listen Later

Get your cheese doodles ready.

Here's Nat and Devon breaking down (and celebrating) an historic day for the U.S. A bronze medal for Jessie Diggins stands as the highlight - she's the first American woman to win an individual medal - but there were several other steps taken forward by the men and women wearing stars and stripes.

In particular, Rosie Brennan popped the second fast time in qualification. Overcoming a bad pole plant-induced fall in her quarterfinal, she powered through to take second (to the eventual winner), building momentum each round to finish 4th, just meters behind Diggins .

And you've got all four American men - also a record - in the Top-30, and Ben Ogden skiing into the semis to finish one second behind Pellegrino and Klæbo, landing in 12th as the top American men's sprint finish in history.

So much more. We're here for it, and we're glad you are too. Thanks for listening.
