PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — It's been 42 years since the United States won a medal in cross-country skiing.
Andy Newell believes that drought is about to end.
The four-time Olympian sprint specialist said he is so confident in how far the Americans have come in cross-country that it would "disappointing" if they don't come home with any hardware from the Pyeongchang Games.
"We're at a point where we can say that now," Newell said. "For me personally, I would love for that medal to come around my neck, but if it is around any (American's) neck we will be equally stoked.
