Not only did Diggins earn the overall Crystal Globe, she was also the distance Crystal Globe champion as well. Her historic World Cup season included six wins, 12 podiums, a team relay podium and a Tour de Ski overall victory. “I just wanted to go ski a brave race and ski hard and put my whole heart out there,” Diggins said. “That’s what I did. I’m really proud of how the season ended but I’m more proud of my team for being there for me. It’s been a lot of ups and downs. It has not been easy. It’s been a hard year. And that’s I think why it’s so special that we got through it together.”
