Heidi Weng made a big mistake at the Ruka World Cup opener this past weekend.
Uh oh.
Usually when you're in a sprint finish with three other ladies you expect them to cross the line with you. Skiing in a chase pack of four during a World Cup pursuit, Heidi skied into the finish lane when there were still 2.5 kilometres left to go. She was all alone, and at first she thought she had out-sprinted the others. It was at this moment Heidi knew she f**ked up.
My reaction when my manager sent me a text at 9:50 telling me to work at 10:00
We actually love Heidi, she seems like a really cool person. If we could hug her at the finish line, we would say: Don't let one dumb move get you down Heidi! You're the best, and you'll be back to being the best next weekend. Love from, the Pandas.
