Chad Salmela, the caller, is from Duluth, MN, Diggins' home state. He did a podcast interview about it. I'll find it.

I don't know if this is the episode, but this is relevant. He also hosts a podcast titled Threshold.

Was gonna post this myself if I didn’t see it here. Probably my favorite sports moment ever.

You are the MVP for linking original quality video clip. YouTube will only net you someone with a phone recording their TV while screaming along. Lol

It was the greatest TV call in the history of skiing. The dude yelling/screaming was her former coach.

The call and emotion from him (Chad Salmela), was second to none.

HERE COMES DIGGENS will forever live in history with call in that battle

Makes me cry every time even though it’s not my sport. I suppose it’s the mostly the passionate announcing but there’s something about when she launches into the final sprint. A solo athlete on the brink of exhaustion digging in for an effort that they’ve dedicated their whole life to.

Still can't believe Sweden lost it, so good at sprint usually
