Klæbo was dogged by a leg injury. Then he met a Utah physical therapist with NBA cred.

That hiatus was a four-year jumping drought that only served to push her into other aspects of nordic sport. During her time away from jumping, Geraghty-Moats competed in cross-country skiing and biathlon where...
