""Skiing has given me more joy, challenge, courage and community than I could have ever imagined, which is why I want to take you all on this final year with me." - Jessie Diggins"
"Last winter, she once again rewrote the record books, claiming her third overall World Cup title and completing her second consecutive sweep of both the overall and distance Crystal Globes. She led the World Cup standings from start to end, wearing the yellow leader's bib from the first race weekend to the finale, and delivered six victories and seven podiums-including her first-ever classic race win in the 15-kilometer (9-mile) stage of the Tour de Ski."
"Her season was defined not only by excellence but also by resilience. Diggins raced through plantar fasciitis and a partially torn ligament in her foot, missing only a handful of races yet still winning the distance title by a razor-thin two-point margin. At the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, she earned silver in the team sprint with Julia Kern, bringing her career total to seven World Championship medals."
Jessie Diggins announced retirement at the end of the 2025-26 season and is expected to make her fourth and final Olympic appearance at the Milan-Cortina Games. Diggins closed a dominant 2024-25 campaign by winning her third overall World Cup title and sweeping both the overall and distance Crystal Globes for a second consecutive year. She led the World Cup from start to finish, recording six victories and seven podiums, including her first classic win in the 15-kilometer Tour de Ski stage. Diggins raced through plantar fasciitis and a partially torn ligament, secured the distance title by two points, and added a World Championship team-sprint silver to reach seven World Championship medals overall.
