Diggins had to settle for 13th place – over two minutes behind winner Ebba Andersson – in the skiathlon event at the World Championship in Trondheim.

She says she has mostly focused on the competitions and is not really well-informed about the altercation between Trump and Zelenskyj at the White House on Friday, but still gives a comment.

I've seen the video and it's really embarrassing. You don't treat a person like that, says the 33-year-old, who has won the overall World Cup twice and has an Olympic gold and two World Championship golds on her merit list.

The two presidents got into a long and heated argument in front of TV cameras. Trump, with the support of Vice President JD Vance, went hard at Zelenskyj.

You're gambling with millions of lives. You're gambling with a third world war, and what you're doing is very disrespectful to our country, said Trump, pointing harshly and angrily at Zelenskyj.

This is not good, for both sides, said Zelenskyj about the altercation, in an interview afterwards with Fox News.

It's been over three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
