The one Jessie Diggins was waiting for: Nat and Devon were both on hand for the Olympic 10-kilometer freestyle and have this recap. It gets pretty heated! But in a good way.
We'll be back tomorrow after the showdown between Johannes Klaebo and Einar Hedegart in the men's race. Nat
wrote a profile of Klaebo-killer Hedegart — the biggest threat to what could otherwise be a golden sweep of the Olympics by the cross-country skiing king.
Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We'll be back tomorrow.
It's really expensive to be here in Italy. If you can, support the show and FasterSkier's ongoing coverage with a
voluntary membership. We're also offering a special bonus to our members during the Olympics: an insider's WhatsApp group featuring notes on Nat's experiences in Italy, the food he's eating, links to international coverage of cross-country skiing and more. Send nat[at]northernjournal[dot]com a confirmation of your voluntary membership and the number he should use for WhatsApp and we'll get you signed up. You can also Venmo him directly at @nat-herz if a membership isn't for you. We're suggesting a minimum of $10, but we also won't turn anyone away who wants to join because of an inability to pay.
