The film documents Diggins’ experience seeking specialized professional treatment while continuing to compete at the highest level of cross-country skiing. The documentary comes after Diggins’ 2026 Olympic performance and her announcement that she plans to retire following the 2026 season.
As of February 2026, Diggins holds the record for the most Olympic medals won by a U.S. cross-country skier with four medals, as well as seven World Championship medals and multiple World Cup overall titles.
“The Emily Program and The Emily Program Foundation are deeply honored to support the production of THRESHOLD and to stand alongside Jessie in sharing this important story. By putting her vulnerability and authenticity on full display, Jessie continues to be a beacon of hope in so many. She has made—and will continue to make—an indelible impact on awareness of eating disorders. Her willingness to share her experience and recovery journey is powerful and profoundly inspiring, especially those struggling with similar challenges,” said Jillian Lampert, Vice President of Strategy and Public Affairs at The Emily Program and Executive Director of The Emily Program Foundation.
Diggins discussed the impact she hopes the film will have.
“I truly believe this film will save lives. This is the story my 18-year-old self desperately needed to hear,” said Diggins.
According to the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, up to 45 percent of female athletes and 19 percent of male athletes exhibit eating disorder behaviors, compared with lower rates in non-athletic populations.
Diggins first developed disordered eating habits in 2010, which progressed into a full eating disorder and led her to seek professional care. Diggins credits The Emily Program with providing treatment during her recovery.
“THRESHOLD” premieres on Peacock on February 23, 2026.
