Two-time Olympian with the best-ever result for a U.S. female cross-country skier in an individual event ... First U.S. female to win a World Cup event in her sport, and win a World Championships medal ... Specializes in sprints and sort distance races, with emphasis on freestyle technique ... Catchy first name the result of a compromise between mother and father ... Often dyes her hair for competition.

Kikkan Randall Just arrived in Lahti. It's a little cooler than Whistler and snowing. Now must try to stay awake for the next few hours.
