Congratulations Jessie Diggins & the US Ski Team

Matthew VoisinMarch 24, 2025

Jessie Diggins’ victory in securing her third FIS Overall Crystal Globe marks a historic milestone, not only for her career but also for the representation of North American athletes in cross-country skiing, a sport traditionally dominated by European nations. Her achievements signify a shift in the landscape, challenging preconceived notions about the sport and setting a precedent for future generations of skiers. Historically, cross-country skiing has been overwhelmingly dominated by athletes from Scandinavia and other...

Inside — okay, actually, outside — Johannes Høsflot Klæbo’s Trondheim victory party

Nathaniel HerzMarch 10, 2025

TRONDHEIM, NORWAY — Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the Norwegian gold-medal winner of all six competitions at this year’s World Championships here, was refreshingly blunt when asked about his plans to celebrate. “You need to remember that I’m allergic to gluten, so I don’t drink much beer,” he told an audience of reporters at a news conference following his last race. But, he added: “If you ask me about vodka-Red Bull, it’s a little bit different.” The 28-year-old...

The Devon Kershaw Show: We finally dry out and the men race a relay

Nathaniel HerzMarch 6, 2025

Phew. Trondheim finally got a break from the relentless precipitation that’s afflicted us for the past week, and take our word for it: We’re grateful. Devon and Nat are back from the hotel to recap Thursday’s men’s relay and preview the women’s race. Nat says he’s sorry for snacking on the air, but not that sorry, because a guy’s gotta eat. Send complaints to devon@fasterskier.com. We’ll be back tomorrow.
