January 18, 2011 (Anchorage, Alaska) – The USA’s Kikkan Randall, won her second career World Cup this past  weekend in Liberec, Czech Republic, on the same venue where she took silver in the free technique sprint at the 2009 World Championships. With that win she’s now the overall World Cup sprint leader for the first time but noted in her blog, “It’s too bad I won’t be racing in Otepaa [Estonia] next weekend to actually get to wear the bib!”

Randall earned her first Word Cup victory in Rybinsk, Russia in December 2007. Following her second WCup win in Liberec – read more here – she returned to the US after being on the road for two months to recover and begin preparation for her biggest test this season – the Nordic World Championships in Oslo, Norway from Feb. 24-Mar. 6 – where she’ll face local star Marit Bjoergen, on the Norwegian’s home turf.

In this teleconference call Randall talks shop about her past, present, and future…how she got to top the podium again and about the upcoming battle with Bjoergen and the world’s best in Oslo…
