Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

[Grassmarket 3,450]

Jess Diggins just cannot help herself.    I'm sure she was thinking about a top 10 place this morning,but as soon as the opportunity arrived she grabbed it.

Diggins is strong thanks to her determination and strong head. None of our young skiers have the right mentality. That's why they all fall in the quarter-finals, basically without a fight. In the USA, every athlete exceeds their maximum in the knockout phase. That's the difference. Someone who won the qualifications certainly had the strength to advance to at least the semi-finals, but the mentality is bad.

What were the coaches doing?

Johaug chasing Diggins will be fun and let's see how long will it take her to catch up, if at all 

[copravolley 274]

Diggins and Pellegrino have never had great physical conditions but their mental have always been on point. The entire American team is brave and ambitious. On the other hand the Italian team is physically weak and has no ambition. There is no visible will to fight and progress is born in the head- that`s says once Filippo Ganna.

The Italian team bought a wax- bus from Sweden before the season and acquired head of their serviceman, so maybe that's the reason? The investment hasn`t been successful so far, because there is still a void beyond Pellegrino and these young skiers aren`t mentally ready for a tough fight.

 

Once there was a skier from Poland - Justyna Kowalczyk, who fought with the whole coalition of Norwegians at that time: Bjoergen, Johaug etc. Thanks to her strong psyche she was able to win difficult finishes with Bjoergen. Diggins is doing the same now - she gives 120%. This is the only way you can win with Norwegians. Apart from Pellegrino I don't see anyone in our team who has the ambition and the will to fight.
