Chelsea LittleMarch 1, 2015
The 50 k classic mass start which wrapped up 2015 World Championships was punishing for everyone, and U.S. skiers Noah Hoffman and Erik Bjornsen were no exception. Hoffman didn't feel his best and Bjornsen said he struggled with the slush and his own technique - but was trying to use the race as a learning experience. "I don’t think there’s any reason to sit out events like this," he said.
