Andrew Musgrave Takes Sixth in Olympic 10km to Set Team GB Best

He said an all-out effort in warm conditions triggered on-camera vomiting.

Overview

  • The 35-year-old delivered Britain's highest finish in Olympic cross-country skiing at Milano Cortina 2026 in Tesero.
  • Competing in his fifth Games, he surpassed his seventh place from 2018, with only Mike Dixon having more Winter Olympic appearances for Great Britain.
  • He interrupted a BBC Sport interview to be sick, later attributing it to extreme lactic-acid buildup after a short, intense race.
  • Musgrave said heat and strong Norwegian performances limited his ceiling, adding he felt he should have placed fourth rather than contend for medals.
  • Warmer weather saw him choose a lighter, sleeveless race outfit, and he remains noncommittal about targeting the 2030 Games.
