On another warm day at the Nordic world ski championships, Afton native Jessie Diggins wore shorts and short sleeves Tuesday, finishing fourth in the 10-kilometer freestyle.
Temperatures in Oberstdorf, Germany, reached 58 degrees at race time. Norway's Therese Johaug won in 23 minutes, 9.8 seconds, with Sweden's Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson finishing second and third. Diggins' time of 24:21.8 was 5.1 seconds behind Andersson.
The finish was Diggins' best thus far at these world championships. But the heat has been a significant obstacle for her.
Diggins told US Ski & Snowboard, "I'm more of a Minnesota winter athlete."
