00:19 be Nilsson or Diggins and the United States has done it!
00:23 From Sweden and Norway oh what a performance from Jess Diggins.
00:32 It feels unreal like I can't believe it just happened yeah it's just believing that we
00:39 had what it took the entire day.
00:43 I would say you know when it is brought up or if I do think of it it's almost more of
00:49 a warm feeling of how our sport is growing and and what it means to people to feel inspired
00:55 and fired up and excited about cross-country skiing it's less of a like oh yeah I did that.
