A Minnesota Olympic gold medalist is getting ready to compete in the World Cup Race in Finland this week - but an unexpected off-season relapse is her latest hurdle.

I think she doesn't really understand how people work. It is not the culture of sport that leads to her mental illness/eating disorders, but it is precisely the mental health/eating disorders that make her and the rest of her best colleagues separate them from the other elite athletes.
There are not many people in the world who have a bigger brain than Jessie, which is why she is one of the greatest in cross country skiing. Her brain just works differently.
The entire world of cross-country skiing has the greatest respect for Jessie's achievements on the track, but also her honesty about the problems that are the very reason she is the biggest beast of all.
