Jessie Diggins ‘full of gratitude’ after ending a glittering Olympic career in cross-country skiing

Jessie Diggins crossed the line Sunday as she has done so often over 15 years on the world stage — with the tank entirely empty. Collapsed on the snow with her chest heaving, Diggins ended a 50-kilometer race in fifth place — just a few seconds shy of one more medal. “If you had told me even a year ago, I’d be in the fight for a bronze medal in a 50k classic, I would not have believed you,” she said.
