Kikkan Randall put her mark on an already historic Nordic Ski World Championships for the USA, taking silver Tuesday in the cross country sprint to garner the highest medal for a U.S. cross country skier at Worlds in history.
Randall's silver-medal finish marked the first World Championship medal for a woman in cross country as well as the only medal a cross country athlete from the U.S. has won since Bill Koch took bronze in the 30K in 1982 in Oslo.
"It feels amazing. I've known in the back of my heart all along that it was possible," Randall said. "Considering where I was eight months ago - in the hospital with a blood clot - it feels incredible. I'm just so happy."
Bj SPORT congratulate US Ski Team with another great success.
