The Latest: US' Diggins: Nerves might have gotten best of me

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

6 p.m.

American cross-country skier Jessie Diggins says nerves may have gotten the best of her before the women's 15-kilometer (9.3-mile) skiathlon, causing her to throw up shortly before the race.

Diggins was third in the World Cup rankings coming in but finished fifth on Saturday at the Pyeongchang Games.

The 26-year-old says, "I need to work on a few things to manage stress."

She says she also struggled with cramping in her triceps during the race and will reconsider her hydration plan moving forward.
