Jessie Diggins ... so close!

Two days ago Jessie raced into the sprint finals, and in the two distance races totaling 25k of racing, she missed a couple of bronze medals by a total of 7.9 seconds.

Still, assuming everyone stays healthy and has a good race I think we have a shot at a medal in both relays.

My guess is in the 4x5k we go with Sadie, then Sophie, Kikkan, and Jessie ... my prediction is that they will be placing 3rd-4th-or fifth.

In the sprint relay we should have two teams:
Sadie and Diggins, as well as Sophie and Kikkan ... I think one of those teams will place 2nd-3rd-or 4th.
