Tour de Ski: Results Stage 3 – 10km Skate Women
After winning the 10-kilometer skate race in Oberstdorf Friday afternoon, defending Tour de Ski champion Jessie Diggins is back in the yellow leader bib for tomorrow’s stage.
Leading the mass start event off the line and for most of the first of the three laps, Diggins fell back somewhat in the middle of the race. But on the last lap, she was on fire.
Approaching the finish line, the 30-year-old American was on fire. She pulled off a massive surge in signature Diggins-style: pour every ounce of energy onto the course in a final collapse-across-the-finish-line effort.
Top 3, 10km mass start, women
1. Jessie Diggins, USA, 21:30.8
2. Frida Karlsson, Sverige, +0.5
3. Tatiana Sorina, Russia, +4.0
