Milan Cortina Games
TESERO, Italy (AP) --- Jessie Diggins of the United States battled through
injury to claim bronze Thursday in the women's 10?kilometer interval start, a
race dominated by Sweden's Frida Karlsson as she won her second gold medal at
the Winter Olympics. Diggins, racing in her final season, collapsed to the
ground, shouting out in pain after finishing the freestyle race at the Milan
Cortina Games and adding to her gold, silver and bronze career medal tally. The
34-year-old American finished 49.7 seconds behind a Swedish one-two, with
Karlsson clocking 22 minutes, 49.2 seconds. Ebba Andersson was second, 46.6
seconds behind the leader. Diggins fell in the opening race, the Skiathlon, and
bruised her ribs, the injuring hurting her following performance in the
individual sprint where she was eliminated in the heats.
