Not xcd or telemark, but keep an eye on the u.s. girls nordic team. Jessie Diggins and Rosie Brennan both podium finishes in 20k freestyle in Finland!!!! Go girls!

Yeah Jesse is a pit bull.

You going to see her in mpls Feb 18 for the Loppet Cup? Depending on the weather and how my truck is running I may head that way.

That actually could be pretty cool if it's at the newish Theodore Wirth Nordic complex. However if there is powder up here, I'm not going anywhere.

@wabene I think you have your priorities in the proper order!

She's also competing in the birkie for the first time. I have been meaning to do it, but not without an early start to the season to get my ass in shape.

I heard other teammates will be joining her in race. Brother and I signed up for 53k classic in last wave. First Birkie should be a zoo starting in back with traffic and whats left of classic tracks. Here's a good channel for world cup races including this past weekend. Really enjoy the British commentators over US coverage they always have better insight and tidbits. https://www.youtube.com/@worldcupskiing2023/videos

Thanks for posting that link, yoop!

Wish I could do it this year but no way with the poor shape I am in and such little prospect for skiing in the near future.
