Win items from @jessdiggs and support COVID-19 relief? Sounds like a win-win situation!

[Peggy Shinn @pegmcshinn]

Kindness wins: @MikaelaShiffrin @jessdiggs @Madison_Keys @sparkleaddict have raised $32k and counting for COVID-19 relief by auctioning items. More added regularly. #kindnessincrisis Story here:https://t.co/wApAhNarpe

@matthewengstrom Not sure what you mean by not looking good... 🤔 March 14th will be a beautiful day and we still have a 4+ ft base of snow covering the World Cup course! Couldn't be a better forecast if you asked us 😉

[Patrick Enslow @Enslow_P]

Congrats to @august_schu on a historic gold at @FISCrossCountry World Juniors. He won the mens 10K classic in 26:31.7. #Gold #Skiing

At the World Jr XC ski champs, @usskiteam skiers are killing it. Gold medal for Gus Schumacher today. And yesterday, @juliakernski took the bronze in the U23 freestyle sprint. Lots more racing to come ...

Interesting ski stats heading into the World Junior Championships

[statskier @StatSkier]

World Juniors are approaching...

...historically (and roughly) female WJC podium finishers are ~1.3x as likely as male podium finishers to achieve a top 30 *distance* result at the WC level and ~1.4x times as likely to achieve a top 10 *distance* result at the WC level.

"Near the end of my senior year, I began a slow spiral . . . I thought that to be successful as a skier, I needed to have no body fat. This misconception was the starting point where my life began to spiral." —@jessdiggs, Brave Enough. https://t.co/6zM3Ua3CG6 #NEDAwareness
