Kikkan Randall from the New York Times sports desk. Kikkan is an Olympic gold medalist who was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer shortly after winning gold at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. A huge thank you to @kikkanimal for letting us into her home and telling her story with such clarity, honesty and unwavering strength. She recently finished her last round of chemo and her “g.i. Jane” work out was incredible to watch. She’s planning on running the NYC marathon in November.
