It’s Final Race for U.S. Longshot Kemppel

The 30-kilometer event is a demanding cross-country race that features a strong Russian contingent that may or may not compete in the aftermath of the recent disqualification of one of its members in a relay race for testing positive for an elevated number of red blood cells. It also will be the last race of American Nina Kemppel. She is a four-time Olympian and a medal performance, which would be her firstin a sport dominated by Europeans, is a longshot.
