The 32 year-old of & rsquo; Alaska has made public her pregnancy through its Facebook page with a nice photo in which portraits are three pairs of winter boots, two adults and one child. & Ldquo; The family-Randall Ellis & agrave will increase; two feet & hellip; & rdquo; the caption.
Randall had communicated the news to the technicians of the US team & nbsp; at the beginning of the week, during training camp that the US Ski Team is playing in Park City. This is the official statement released by the Federation website: & ldquo; After Sochi I thought long about my future and I realized that he still wants to hit new targets. They've always been involved in the races and in training, but Jeff (mate, Ed) and I also decided to start a family. We knew this was the right moment, I am excited to become a mother, but I'm also looking forward to returning to racing in 2017 & rdquo ;.
This instead commented Chris Grover, head coach of the US women's team of cross-country skiing: & ldquo; If there & rsquo; & egrave; someone who has the tenacity and the desire to return to the top in the world having started a family, & egrave; Kikkan own. He knows what serves the hard work to be a champion, and he's already & agrave; showing of wanting to go to win. As we Mancher & agrave; during the next World Cup, we know that it will be & agrave; with us again in 2016-17. We are very excited about Kikkan and Jeff & rdquo ;.
So Randall & egrave; willing to hang the skis to nail despite recovering from a particularly disappointing and from & rsquo; arrival of her first child: & ldquo; I am going to keep the same athletic programs when torner & ograve; to compete in both sprint and in the distance. Punter & ograve; in particular the Sprint freestyle World Cup in Lahti in 2017 and team events of Pyeongchang 2018 & rdquo ;.
Randall, who wrote the history of his country in the cross-country skiing being able to establish itself in an individual race first level (around has won 13), as well as & eacute; the first to have won a medal standings individual (silver in the sprint in Liberec in 2009) and the first gold ever in the history of the United States (in the Team Sprint in Val di Fiemme in 2013 teamed with Jessica Diggins), will & agrave; cos & Igrave; the third long-distance runner of some weight along with Katja Višnar and Marit Bj ø rgen & nbsp; - in addition to our Marina Piller - to skip the 2015-16 season because of pregnancy. & nbsp;
