Amazing, when she's on, nobody can beat her. Don't want to jinx her but it looks like she will get to 100 total wins by the end of this season and probably the Overall WC.

I think she's the best racer I've ever seen, and ever will see.

Any day, any f'n race.

Final stage of the Tour de Ski today. 10 km including the climb up Alpe Cermis, with an average 11% grade and ramps up to 28%. Sophia Laukli becomes the first 'Murrican to win this iconic stage. It's official: Between Laukli, Ogden, and Schoonmaker, the young guns are bringing it as hard as wily veterans like Diggins and Brennan.

Diggins came 6th to win her second Tour de Ski, when I find video featuring Diggins, I'll share it.

Jessie Diggins, Alpe Cermis. Deep in the pain cave. Check the scene at the finish line, 4:05. "The mayhem and the carnage."
