Update: Morgan Arritola competes today in 4x5km Relay

NBC Previews the competition here.

Update: The U.S. Team came in 12th with Arritola skiing the 3rd leg.

The women's 4x5km relay determines which cross-country skiing nation has the best team depth. In this mass start event, two legs of classical skiing are followed by two legs of the freestyle (skating) technique. The winning team is the one whose anchor-leg skier first crosses the finish line.

The U.S. will be led by Anchorage, Alaska skier Kikkan Randall. The two-time Olympian will likely be joined by Olympic debutantes Liz Stephen of East Burke, Ver., and Morgan Arritola of Sun Valley, Ida.. The best result for the U.S. women at the Olympics is 7th, achieved at the 1980 and 1984 Games.
