ATHLETE QUOTES

Ingvild Flugstad Østberg (NOR)
It was like hell today, it was very hard fight. I felt the snow was not fast. I was gaining seconds on Heidi and then losing them again. It’s great to have the red bib for another day but I think I will lose it soon.

Heidi Weng (NOR)
Today’s race was very hard for everybody. I managed to ski hard on the uphills and quite well on the flats.

Jessie Diggins (USA)
I felt good and strong. I had not bad luck today. I had really good skis too. I was able to ski my own race.
