The Twin Cities will have the chance to host a group of world-class athletes after missing out on the same opportunity a few years ago.  Golden Valley's Theodore Wirth Park will host a World Cup cross-country skiing event next year, the first such event held in the U.S. since 2001.  The Loppet Foundation executive director Claire Wilson explains how the area earned this chance after losing a similar one in 2020 (due to the pandemic).
