US EditionSweden’s Ebba Andersson gets redemption in winning 50km cross-country ski race at Milan Cortina
- In Tesero, at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Ebba Andersson, cross-country skier, won the 50km race, pulling away late for gold. The event was framed as redemption after her relay crash.
- As the first Olympic women's 50km, the race changed distance-race stakes while key Swedish contenders like Jonna Sundling missed the event due to illness, Swedish ski federation spokeswoman Ulrika Sterner said.
- Jessie Diggins, racing her final Olympic event, fell during a ski change, finished fifth, and collapsed at the line, as Kaelin outpaced her in the final climb.
- Andersson's medal contributed to Sweden's dominance as the nation won five women's cross-country golds, while Jessie Diggins' fifth-place finish closed her Olympic career before retiring later this year.
- The race's Olympic debut prompted mixed views as some athletes called the women's 50-kilometer event too much amid World Cup preparations, while Andersson called her victory a long-held dream.
