ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A day after a World Cup cross country ski race victory in Germany, Alaska’s Kikkan Randall was back on the podium Sunday in an event that made U.S. history for the sport.
Randall and Sadie Bjornsen of Winthrop, Wash., finished second in a sprint relay at Dusseldorf.
It’s the first time U.S women have won medals in a sprint relay.
The U.S. Ski Association says the previous best for U.S. women was a fourth-place finish in a January 2009 Olympic test event at Whistler Olympic Park.
