Norway Has Selection Problems. Jimmy Has a Worse Solution.
Episodit
Jimmy’s trying to roller ski without getting told off. Mika’s trying to convince himself he’s excited about a rainy training camp in Finland. The season hasn’t even started, and morale is looking expensive. This week, the boys get into Livigno’s roller skiing headaches, Norway’s selection drama ahead of Ruka, and why being one of the best skiers in the world apparently doesn’t guarantee you a quiet November. Jimmy also pitches a new race format. Because the only thing missing from cross-country skiing was weapons. Things get slightly more serious as they unpack the Russian comeback headlines, the neutral-status debate, and the argument over who actually calls the shots when it comes to hosting the World Championships. Plus: retired skiers being annoyingly good at running, another attempt to get Pål Golberg on the podcast, and Mika preparing to return to Muonio—a place he previously promised himself he’d never visit again. At least there’s Italian food. And with Jimmy expecting to miss Ruka, Mika might need a replacement co-host. Leave your nominations in the comments. No guarantee we’ll listen; that would be dangerously professional. 🎧 Subscribe to Skirious Problems for more World Cup chat, questionable solutions, and teammates who should probably spend less time together
Victor Lovera almost quit skiing. Now he has an Olympic silver medal, a place in the French relay team, and a training base in Norway. This week, Jimmy’s childhood friend and French Olympic medalist Victor Lovera joins Mika and Jimmy in Lillehammer to talk about the decision that changed his career. After finishing outside the top ten in the Olympic individual skate, Victor decided he needed something new. He moved to Norway, joined Jimmy’s training environment, and pushed his training volume further than ever before. We start with the important things: Norwegian autumn weather, Jimmy’s worst session of the year, and Victor’s first proper experience of Lillehammer. Mika is enjoying unusually warm October weather in Ramsau, Jimmy is preparing for minus twelve, and Victor is learning that Norway can be beautiful, brutal and occasionally both at the same time. Then we get into Victor’s ambitious training week: around 138 hours, 45 kilometres of running, skating sessions, and a plan that worked brilliantly—until a cold, a fall and a sprained ankle arrived. Victor explains why he would do it again, what he learned about recovery, and why he is willing to take risks while chasing the next Olympics. Mika and Victor also debate the difference between making a change and taking a stupid risk. Is a huge volume week smart preparation, motivation or just unnecessary suffering? Victor argues that change was necessary to move beyond a top-20 level; Mika argues that risk should not be confused with bad planning. We also discuss the French team’s altitude setup, including time in Tignes and sleeping at around 3,000 metres in the Alps. Victor explains why altitude has become a bigger part of France’s preparation and how the team balances it with training and recovery. Then we get into the Olympic relay. Victor takes us through the stress of watching his teammates race, starting against Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, being terrified of falling on the downhill, and finally carrying the French flag across the line for silver. He also explains why the French team celebrated properly afterwards—and why he thinks that mattered. Other topics include: The Swedish federation’s attempt to prevent neutral Russian athletes from competing at the World Championships in Falun. Whether national federations should be able to interfere with FIS and CAS decisions. Rumors around Alexander Bolshunov’s possible return and neutral status. Why Victor’s results can swing from Continental Cup struggles to a seventh place at the World Cup. The difference between strong and weak Continental Cup courses. Free skiing coverage in the United States and why the boys think it could be a major win for the sport. Whether roller skiing belongs in the World Cup. Victor’s dream session: a 200-kilometre bike ride in the Alps with Jimmy and old friends. Expect Olympic nerves, training debates, French stereotypes, questionable hotel reviews, and at least one discussion that starts with skiing and ends somewhere completely different. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyND Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast RSS Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: /@skiriousproblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: @skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: @mikaa_ver James Clugnet: @jimmycluggz
Too much snow cancels a ski camp. Naturally, we end up at Zak Ketterson’s house talking about how to save skiing. Just another week on Skirious Problems. Zak joins Mika and Jimmy from somewhere approximately halfway up the atmosphere above Holmenkollen, where every session ends with a massive uphill and his wife Julie occasionally operates the rescue service. We talk moving from Minnesota to Norway, juggling three teams, and how long your partner should reasonably have to wait for that “breakthrough season.” Then we get into what actually made Zak faster. Spoiler: it wasn’t a secret Norwegian interval session. We discuss his four-day training cycle, ditching heavy gym work, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is ignore the plan. There’s also the slightly uncomfortable experience of winning a big roller-ski race and suddenly having everyone tell you that you’re definitely getting a World Cup podium this winter. No pressure, mate. Obviously, we also solve all of cross-country skiing’s problems. Why make races easy to watch when you could hide them behind an expensive subscription? Why race in front of excited American fans when you could argue about another European venue? And why spend money growing the sport when you could buy an even bigger wax truck? Some very calm, measured opinions all round. Plus: Jimmy gets his ankles broken playing basketball before a World Cup, Zak explains that people can apparently have a personality outside skiing, and Mika considers taking up golf after discovering that it involves getting angry and occasionally having a drink. Finally, Zak tells us about the Norwegian skier who introduced himself as his biggest fan—then went straight onto the podium. The admiration quickly became mutual. Training nerds, ski-politics enthusiasts and anyone waiting for Mika to find a hobby: this one’s for you. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyND Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast RSS Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@skiriousproblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz
This episode of Skirious Problems is a full preseason catch-up: altitude camps, questionable biathlon technique, brutal VO2 max testing, Russian participation, Norwegian team drama, Tour de Ski rumors, and plenty of gossip from inside the skiing world. Mika and Jimmy are finally back from the United States, but the post-camp separation is already taking its toll. After weeks of training together, they are now split between Ramsau and Lillehammer and both have somehow lost their AirPods. The breakup is real. We start with the German biathlon team training on the Ercolina in Ramsau, which leads to a passionate public-service announcement: if you are double-poling on skate roller skis, please buy classic roller skis. The boys also discuss Johan Wolfgang’s roller-ski technique advice and why even elite athletes can occasionally look ridiculous in training. Then it gets serious...or at least slightly more scientific. Mika and Jimmy break down their altitude camp in Park City, including hemoglobin mass, lactate profiles, work efficiency and VO2 max testing. Jimmy predicted he would last nine minutes on the test and then pushed all the way to 9:15, coming remarkably close to the suspected all-time record. The bigger surprise was that his VO2 max barely changed, while his time to exhaustion improved dramatically. The episode also covers the importance of interpreting performance tests correctly. A higher VO2 max is not always the most interesting result: improved efficiency, better lactate values and the ability to ski faster at the same oxygen uptake may tell a much bigger story. After discussing the excellent camps in Park City and Rice Lake—and the technical disaster that delayed the live podcast—the conversation turns to ski-world gossip: The allegations and ongoing controversy involving Kristine Stavås Skistad and her former coach. The complicated relationship between coaching, management, contracts and athlete dependency. The latest developments surrounding Russian and Belarusian athletes seeking neutral status. Whether Alexander Bolshunov will return to international racing. The Norwegian team’s altitude camp in Font-Romeu, including illness, back problems and rumors of internal separation. France hosting the opening stages of the Tour de Ski in Les Rousses. The possibility of Austria hosting a future Tour de Ski stage—with Ramsau making a very strong case. Why organizing the Tour de Ski around New Year is so difficult for race organizers and hotels. As always, expect strong opinions, questionable comparisons, political confusion, national stereotypes, and just enough sports science to make the gossip feel educational. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcastRSS Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rssYouTube: /@skiriousproblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US:Skirious Problems: @skirious_problemsMika Vermeulen: @mikaa_verJames Clugnet: @jimmycluggz
Alvar Alev is back with Mika and Jimmy for a Park City catch-up that moves from serious skiing to completely unnecessary personal conflict.They talk about Alvar changing his training after six years, why Park City keeps bringing him back, what European skiing can learn from the American system, university teams, Soldier Hollow and Utah 2034, Will Koch’s move to biathlon, and the economics behind athlete pathways.Then Mika reveals he is still angry about pickleball. Jimmy explains why Mika is the worst person in the world to argue with. A debate about double poling becomes personal, Alvar gets a front-row seat, and nobody learns anything.This is not a polished interview. It is three elite skiers in Park City with too many opinions and enough history to say exactly what they think.
Mika got sick on the final day of the SKIRIOUS Park City camp, so Jimmy handed the second microphone to Norwegian coach Vetle and opened the floor to the athletes.What began as a quick camp recap became a live coaching clinic: what Norway can learn from American ski culture, why underdogs can build stronger teams, how to plan a sprint heat, when training should feel hard, whether young skiers need to peak, and how to balance skiing with other sports and school.Recorded at Soldier Hollow in Utah, future home territory of the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Recorded in the middle of Blink Festival in Sandnes - with four people, three microphone cables and very tired legs - Mika and Jimmy sit down with Blink founder and sports director Arne Idland and IDT Sports' Morten Iversbakken. Morten explains why IDT brings 1,300 pairs of brand-new roller skis to Blink, whether Lysebotn Opp times can really be compared across different years, and why equal equipment, logistics and athlete safety matter. Arne tells the story of how Blink grew from an idea shared with legendary NRK commentator Kjell Kristian Rike into a free city-centre festival owned by the people of Sandnes. The conversation then gets bigger: what can World Cups learn from Blink, why does biathlon appear more willing to change than cross-country skiing, should roller skiing become part of the main World Cup, do we need more race formats - and do we even need classic technique? This one contains skiing, business, city-building, FIS versus the IBU, a proposed Norwegian Olympics and the usual amount of Skirious chaos.

Does the famous “Norwegian training method” actually exist? Professor Øyvind Sandbakk joins Mika and Jimmy for a deep conversation about what has really made Norway so successful—not only in cross-country skiing, but across endurance sport. We discuss Norway’s wealth, sporting culture, club system and willingness to share knowledge; why copying individual Norwegian sessions often misses the bigger picture; and whether many athletes would develop better by staying home instead of chasing altitude camps. The conversation then turns to how cross-country skiers are actually built: technique versus physiology, volume versus intensity, training at 14, 18 and 22, learning through failure, and why testing should be viewed as facing reality—not sitting an exam. Topics include: • Is there really a Norwegian method? • What can countries with fewer resources realistically copy? • Is altitude training overrated? • Running versus roller skiing • How training should develop from junior to senior level • When more volume becomes valuable • Why athletes need room to make mistakes • What “talent” actually means in cross-country skiing • Mika’s own training development and recent struggles This is not a conversation about finding one perfect training programme. It is about understanding why different athletes need different routes—and why the environment around the training may matter just as much as the sessions themselves.

Kasper shares stories of completely bonking on the bike, suffering through brutal sessions, and the lessons learned from going a little too deep.The conversation also gets properly nerdy. We dig into training philosophy, intensity control, threshold work, ski-specific endurance, recovery, and all the little details endurance athletes obsess over. If you enjoy the geekier side of training, this one’s for you.And between all that, there’s plenty of banter, laughs, and classic podcast chaos from Jimmy and Mika.Fresh episodes every two weeks plus behind-the-scenes training VLOGs coming soon.🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON:* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDhttps://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2QxcEt1cFN0VWUyNlJ6Qm9wWWZ2UFhhbGdhQXxBQ3Jtc0tsR3F5UTREODNORUxGMThDaEVzZFhsaXZQaHYxWDZHUkt1VkdxSUEtei0ycjljdnlUSUg4cFVhSTJmdEpLSHpxekVxWWZmMHBCM0Zfak9JOVRzTm1jdEpqd0VqcWZONWRXbkFiZmsyUmdXeGdNN2FQZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fshow%2F1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0&v=b_avBy6GbeA* Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWtwRlBqYTNpRDh4b1doYkVRUEJ5UWdJcHY2QXxBQ3Jtc0tuSk1EdDY3amUyS3RtZ2tYMVdxSnBPWTZvWllUZG5obTNxcm5OV2NiakUzVWl5THNkeWRaRFZzTHRyZTBQeTd2MzB0ZGFZVUJLVVlhUlRwWEs1aDF2d1BwMFh4UDVkeEZtdnV1Y0FhRWFrVFRvM005cw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fno%2Fpodcast%2Fskirious-problems%2Fid1718097138&v=b_avBy6GbeA- RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUlyGJW-RXmRlAZHfACivg🤳🏼 FOLLOW US:* Skirious Problems: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVBMb2VWYnlJZjhSN1JPX1FhMXlic19xak9md3xBQ3Jtc0tsempCVjNKNjlPTXpGendqUDJYeDRyMW1sZWlsR0tydzRudm1RWHpob19TRElUTVlyeUtJcnBlVUtkMFprTVkyQW5hLTMxeVF4V2d3d1BHRGQ5YWdEbUZGU2ZDSWNDSEpmRTVITFhJcFg0NTFjT0ptNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fskirious_problems&v=b_avBy6GbeA * Mika Vermeulen: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmMwMEJlN1pZV0MtN3g3R1ZSZ183cE9KODdSZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsMmJqc0dKbldzcHZtTVdXYXdzM1FaTTNRanNHa1VwdllBcWJxZ096QURGWGJ5Mm1NUFJYQzVuS1NOdGs5UjlTREhjeEJhNHZkdk5JTkoxT2lsMDZ1cHNJT2tlUUFtYngzMktxbkVZV2xubVdNNVZmOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fmikaa_ver&v=b_avBy6GbeA * James Clugnet: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGFBY1NFYnFSWDlSWkZMYllNWUQ5cDNqTXF3d3xBQ3Jtc0tseE1jVDMxd1B4SXg3cGNfTGhWZzhMODNzM1YxZXVKTVdPdlNSb2luYXpHcDdwVjU0UGlHYzlPY2I5cjNDNFQtWExXOElaNElSeWVFSXNNT3lDOGtHY21kdUU1czRzVVFnOHByekVkejZETjQwejVRQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fjimmycluggz&v=b_avBy6GbeA

In this episode, we’re holed up in a mystery spot in Italy (so secretive we don’t even have chairs), and our chat goes everywhere from ski loops to existential crises about workout volume - and, yes, a serious amount of eagle-printed clothing at the Olympics. We grill Gus about why he ditched brutal, never-ending training plans for ski mountaineering tours and a bit more fun, only to discover that apparently, your legs and your brain actually both want to enjoy skiing. Who knew? We share the struggle of crowded gyms, the pain of construction not being finished on time, and the all-important mission of collecting cool Olympic pins. From the questionable smell of Italian race courses to who’s really the greatest skate skier of all time (sorry, not a two-month title!), this episode is packed with good laughs, classic banter, and a little slice of the wild skier life. Grab a snack and enjoy - this one’s a ride. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg- Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 - RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: - Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems - Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver - James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.
Annika Malacinski is one of the top names in US Nordic Combined. Get ready for a seriously real (and honestly pretty funny) chat about all things Nordic Combined - especially the wild ride it’s on when it comes to women’s equality and the drama around being cut from the Olympics. The crew doesn’t hold back - they dig into the behind-the-scenes scandals, the “gray zones” of ski jumping rules, and what it feels like to see your sport losing its Olympic spot. Annika Malacinski opens up about her journey, the struggle for support and visibility, and why simply loving your sport sometimes isn’t enough. Plus, you’ll hear the group’s spicy takes on the IOC, creative (but maybe a little crazy) protest ideas, and why watching and talking about Nordic Combined actually makes a difference. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.
Your Goms debrief is back, and we digg into why its good to be in shape at the start of the season but its even better to be in shape at olympics. Tune in to some insights on the race and everything that happened over the week end
This week on Skirious Problems, we spiral (productively) through the chaos of elite skiing: race FOMO, weird techniques that somehow work, and why the women’s field is constantly asked to do more with less. We’re joined by Rosie Vordam to talk offset technique, World Championship nerves, Olympic dreams, and what it’s actually like racing for a small nation with quota math always looming in the background. From there, things get existential: 50K races, race stress vs. training stress, and why longer races can feel both “easier” and way more brutal at the same time. We dig into racing dynamics, gender disparities, and the cursed race calendar—plus why more races (and relays!) could actually make athletes fitter, faster, and less unhinged. Hot takes include: perceived exhaustion is lying to you, racing might be the best training, and the sport desperately needs more opportunities on the women’s side. We finish with Mika’s athletic origin story, a dream training session, and a moment of silence (or not) for the retirement of Gabriel Gledill. If you’ve ever felt FOMO watching a start list, questioned your life choices in a 50K, or wondered why skiing makes things harder than they need to be—this one’s for you. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz

Trust us, this episode with Coletta Rydzek is loaded with honest talk, fresh gossip, and a ton of laughs. We kick things off diving into German ski culture: strict performance tests, old-school coaching styles, and how things are changing for the better (thanks to some Scandinavian influence and a little more flexibility). Coletta Rydzek opens up about her own journey, hitting her stride after a rocky start, and even shares what it was like to win her first World Cup with her brother cheering her on. Of course, we also got some spicy rumors for you - dating drama in the athlete world, boyfriend talk, and a peek at what goes down on TikTok and at German ski camps. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered why biathlon is basically a religion in Germany or got confused by all these weird testing acronyms, you’ll want to stick around! 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.

We’ve got cross-country ski royalty in the house. Legendary Dario Cologna, who’s not just a four-time Tour de Ski winner but also a quadruple Olympic gold medalist and one of the biggest names Switzerland has ever produced. We chat with Dario about everything: how he went from a small mountain village to the top of the podium, his insane comeback from injury right before the Olympics, and a few wild stories about broken skis and race-day crashes. You’ll also hear Dario’s honest take on how the sport has changed (including his thoughts on that controversial 5k mass start!), what it’s like being a superstar in Switzerland, and what he’s been up to since retiring—including running a marathon in a crazy fast time. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.
An absolute legend joining us today. If you were watching World Cup Cross-Country Skiing in the 2000s, you definitely remember Tobias Angerer—multiple World Cup wins, Olympic and World Champs podiums, and a key part of Germany’s famous relay "dream team." Oh, and did we mention he was the very first Tour de Ski winner? The man literally polishes his trophy at home every day. This episode is full of good stories and real talk as the guys look back at the early days of the Tour de Ski and what it was like racing on the cutting edge of a new event. Tobias shares what made the German team so strong, why celebrating a win matters, and gives some honest thoughts on the current state of the sport—plus, you’ll hear about his side gig as a DJ (seriously), the best afterparties, and who he’d pick for his dream golf foursome. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.
In today’s episode, Jimmy, who is joined by Andrew Musgrave (get well soon Mika!), sits down with Swedish cross-country skiing sensation Moa Ilar for an inside look at her journey through the sport and the upcoming Tour de Ski.

She spills on training after foot surgery, why fighting for a spot in the Swedish women’s team is both awesome and stressful, and gives her honest opinions about this year’s Tour de Ski changes. There’s a bunch of good stories in this one: wild relay team drama, crazy Olympic quotas, and the infamous moment Moa Ilar got disqualified for helping a teammate—and got some pretty wild messages online.

Johannes opens up about what it’s actually like to be famous in the ski world, handling endless media attention, and dealing with criticism from people who “know” you but you’ve never even met. We talk about finding motivation to train when you’ve already won it all, why competition means so much, and how much time you spend away from family chasing those podium finishes. You’ll hear hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, a bit of friendly roasting, and some genuine insights into what it takes to keep pushing yourself season after season. Plus, you’ll learn how golf and card games fit into the mind of a champion, what makes the perfect Tour de Ski stage, and how Johannes Høsflot Klæbo tries to balance being an athlete, a son, a teammate—and just a regular person. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.

From klaebo crashing out in quarter finals to the french hope Leonie Perry scoring a 6th in the distance race on sunday, there is plenty to unpack, Tune in !!
In this episode, Mika and Jimmy are chilling in Davos with Swiss skier Janik Riebli, and things get real—real quick. First off, they’re fighting classic podcast tech issues (yep, Swiss hotel Wi-Fi isn’t as fancy as you’d think), but nothing's stopping the crew from diving into some solid ski talk. Janik Riebli spills on his “double life” as both a World Cup skier and a hands-on farmer. From 4:30am cow milking sessions in the Swiss mountains to squeezing in two-a-day training blocks, he talks about how farm life actually keeps him sane during the grind of the race season. The guys also go all-in on some hot topics: whether every nation truly belongs at a World Cup, the politics of letting Russians back into races, and why even pro athletes get nervous before a big weekend. If you’re here for some behind-the-scenes stories, laughs, light-hearted trash talk, and a peek at Janik Riebli's favorite cow (RIP, Alice)—this one’s for you. Grab a glass of freshly milked milk and settle in—the Skirious Problems crew’s got plenty to say. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.

Your weekly race debrief is back ! This time we discuss all that's happened in Ruka for the opening of the World Cup. Stayed tuned for some inside takes.
Mika and Jimmy are joined by Finnish sprint star Jasmi Joensuu, and let’s just say her story is not your average “Scandinavian skier crushing the World Cup” narrative. We get into everything with Jasmi: why she took the unusual route and raced college in the U.S. instead of sticking to the typical Nordic system, how she balanced studying finance and marketing with serious training (plus a little college partying), and the wild journey back to Europe that led to snagging a World Cup podium and the sprint globe last season. The crew gets real about why so few Scandinavians go to the U.S. and actually get better, the financial ups and downs of Finnish skiing, and how Jasmi Joensuu’s consistent results paid off big-time—even if it meant having to handle the haters who think only podiums should count. There’s plenty of banter, some hot takes, and lots of insights for ski geeks, but honestly, it’s just a great listen if you love hearing what it really takes to do things differently and succeed. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss FIS-TV: https://watch.fis-ski.com/home 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.
