Jessie Diggins of the United States clinched a dominant third title in cross-country skiing’s Tour de Ski on Sunday, just over a month before the start of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Diggins, who is from Afton, Minnesota, began the sixth and final stage of the competition — raced entirely in Italy this year — with a 79-second lead. The 34-year-old Diggins was second in the 10-kilometer leg that ended with a gruelling climb up Mount Cermis, less than nine seconds behind stage winner Karoline Simpson-Larsen, to claim the title with an overall time of 2 hours, 11 minutes, 26.1 seconds.
