November 25, 2012 (Gällivare, Sweden) – It was a stellar day for the US XC ski women’s team in Sweden as they claimed their first 4x5km relay podium and put the international field on notice once again that they mean business.

The squad of Kikkan Randall, Holly Brooks, Liz Stephen and Jessie Diggins put it all together on Sunday for the historic performance while making a fashion statement as their red-blue-white striped knee-high socks turned heads as well.

Here’s a selection of photos from today’s competition and check out our interviews with all team members tomorrow… race report and results HERE.
