The Vermont Conversation with David GoodmanJessie Diggins smashes records in the ski world
Jessie Diggins is the fastest woman in the world. At least on cross-country skis.
Earlier this month, Diggins, a Minnesota native who trains in Vermont, became the first American woman to win the overall World Cup cross-country skiing title.

This is just the latest first for the trailblazing Diggins: In January, she became the first American to win the Tour de Ski, a multiday ski race modeled on the Tour de France bike race. And in 2018, she and tea...
