1976

Theirs was not only the United States' first ever cross-country skiing gold medal but also the first American cross-country skiing medal since Bill Koch won silver in the men's 30 km in 1976.

Steve Schlanger and Chad Salmela called the end of the race for NBC:

"Salmela: As they come into the stadium, Diggins trying to get in on the outside! Schlanger: Jessie Diggins with two fifth-place finishes, one-sixth, so close for the U.S. on so many occasions, now moving up on the outside into second place! Salmela: They're all completely gassed! They've given it everything on the Klaebo-bakken! Stina Nilsson leading Jessie Diggins into the final turn – can Diggins answer?! Schlanger: As the roars rattle around the cross-country stadium in Pyeongchang, Sweden, the U.S. and Norway coming to the line! Salmela: Here comes Diggins! Here comes Diggins! Schlanger: On the outside! Diggins making the play around Sweden! Salmela: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Gold!

Schlanger: Jessie Diggins to the line!

And it is Jessie Diggins delivering a landmark moment that will be etched in U.S. Olympic history!

The first-ever cross-country gold medal for the U.S.!

Salmela: It's a gold medal for the United States!

It's not just a medal; it's the gold!"
