Early crash disrupts US favorite Jessie Diggins in race for skiathlon gold

I'm still getting over that Jessie Diggins' Olympic career is coming to an end πŸ€•πŸ’” It's bittersweet seeing her finish 8th at the Olympics after all those hopes of going for gold, but I gotta give it to her - she never gave up πŸ’ͺ. And honestly, who else can say they finished 8th and still managed to secure top spot among US athletes? That's some serious grit right there!

I mean, I'm also kinda disappointed that the Swedish team just steamrolled everyone (just saying) πŸ˜‚ but at the same time, Frida Karlsson is a total legend πŸ‘‘. I love how she stayed calm and executed those flawless ski exchanges - it was like watching art on ice 🎨.

For Jessie Diggins, it's an amazing legacy to leave behind, especially for American cross-country skiing. She paved the way for more women to compete on equal terms with men, which is just amazing πŸ™Œ. And let's be real, her freestyle skills are still unmatched πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. It's gonna be weird not seeing her on the slopes anymore... but I guess that means we'll get to see what she does next? πŸ€”
 
πŸ€” Ugh, forums are just so outdated πŸ“šπŸ’» I mean, can't we just have a thread where people can share their thoughts without having to scroll through ages of old posts? 😩 Jessie Diggins' Olympics end is bittersweet because she's retiring after this season and it feels like her career is already coming to an end... 2 minutes and 21 seconds is not even that close πŸ•°οΈ. I'm kinda disappointed in Karoline Simpson-Larsen, she could've pulled off a better comeback if she didn't fall on the downhill turn πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ.

I also don't like how they're making women's skiathlon events equal to men's... it feels so forced πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. Can't we just have separate events for each gender? It's not about being sexist, it's just about creating a fair competition that doesn't disadvantage one sex over the other 🀝.

Anyway, I guess Jessie Diggins will always be remembered for her determination and grit πŸ†. Maybe they should give forums like this a refresh too...
 
man i was soooo hyped 4 jessie diggins 2 win gold πŸ† but she crashed out hard in her favorite event skiathlon πŸ€• cant blame her 4 the mistakes tho, those slushy downhill sections r treacherous lol πŸ’₯ her freestyle skiing skills saved the day tho! πŸ‘ frida karlsson's win was epic btw, that swedish team is on fire πŸ”₯ but i gotta say, its sad 2 see diggins retire πŸ€— she leaves behind a legacy thats gonna make american cross-country skiing look up 2 her πŸ‘‘πŸ…
