Kikkan Randall, Team USA’s only mom, wins a gold medal in PyeongChang – The Washington Post
This is a nice story from the Olympics – there’s only one mom there, and she won a gold medal.

Also, this medal was a surprise. Cross-country skiing isn’t an event Team USA wins all that often. The last time was 1976 and it was a silver medal. (Which is still good, but gold is better.) The end of the race was, well, a race to the finish. Watch it here. There’s something extra fun about watching athletes surge for the finish line when they have skis on.
