I’m back! After a short break to rest and recover from last season’s racing, training and fun times on skis has started up again, and so has the MYSL blog.
I’ll be writing every month during the summer, and a couple times a month during the race season.
This is my last post for you for a little while, so it’s a longer one. I want to share with you the story from World Championships, where Kikkan and I won the Gold medal in the skate team sprint race. It was a big deal for the USA because it’s the first gold our country has ever won at a World Champs!
2.24.13 World Champions in the house. This is Jessie's latest post, written the day before she became the World Champion in the Team Sprint with Kikkan Randall. -AC
Hello MYSL Kids! This week something pretty special and exciting is going on
– the World Championship races! Everybody knows that the Olympics are held every 4 years, but the World Champs is every 2 years – the year before and the year after the Olympics. This year the World Championship series is in Val di Fiemme (where I wrote to you from the Tour de Ski) and once again the US Ski Team is staying in Predazzo, a town near the race courses. There are Ski Jumping events, Nordic Combined (ski jumping + cross-country skiing) and Cross Country races.

Hey MYSL Kids! Last time I wrote to you, I was in Russia, checking out the Olympic venue for next year’s Winter Games.
It was very exciting and different to be in a country with some customs that are similar, and some totally different than ours. I raced twice last weekend; the skate sprint, and the 15km skiathalon.
This post is written to you from Sochi, Russia – the longest city in the world! It runs along the black sea, and I’m staying up on top of a mountain, at the ski venue where the 2014 Olympics will be held next year.
