It's not normal. In fact, Diggins has never overslept during a race day.

But despite the fade, she sprinted past Frida Karlsson on the race and took home the 20-kilometer mass start in Goms.

- I thought I had set the alarm, but I hadn't. Then I woke up very late and thought: 'Oh my God'. I almost threw up during the race because I ate breakfast so late, says Diggins.

She continues:

- I had enough time but usually I would like more time.

Still, you won today.

- Haha yes, sometimes you might need a little panic to get started.
