Minneapolis World Cup: Historical win and exclusive race report

MINNEAPOLIS, MN: Surging along Sunday’s 10km Freestyle course, American cross-country skiing roared in anticipation and witnessed the unbelievable: A Win at Wirth. As Amundsen, then Klæbo, then Krüger finished off-pace, Gus Schumacher remained improbably, elatedly fixed to the Hot Seat. The thunder of the grandstands rose in frantic intensity, the hillsides overlooking the finish line roiled, and Pål Golberg plunged into the stadium – six seconds too late!

Minneapolis World Cup: Exclusive report from the sprint race

MINNEAPOLIS, MN: Theodore Wirth Park, in the grip of a serpent. Black, blue, and red, this Ouroboros coils around the course from start to finish; packed shoulder to shoulder, it threatens to suffocate the snow; here and there, it bulges violently where it has devoured a particularly rambunctious clutch of spectators.
