Jimmy and Mika are back with your No. 1 Nordic podcast, and this time they’re joined by Johannes Rydzek for an in-depth conversation about one of the biggest stories in winter sports: the removal of Nordic Combined from the Olympic program. Johannes shares his perspective on what the decision means for athletes, the future of the sport, and why he believes Nordic Combined still deserves its place on the biggest stage. We discuss how the news has affected the community, what can be done to grow the sport, and the challenges athletes now face as they look beyond the next Olympic cycle.

Jimmy and Mika are back with your No. 1 Nordic podcast, and this time they're joined by American ski star Sophia Laukli for an honest conversation about one of the toughest seasons of her career. After stepping away from racing to deal with ongoing health challenges, Sophia opens up about what it was really like to put skiing on hold, the physical and mental battles behind the scenes, and how she's worked her way back toward the World Cup. We talk about rebuilding fitness from scratch, learning to trust the process again, balancing ski racing with trail running, and what motivates her as she returns to competition. Sophia also shares insights into life on the U.S. team, training, racing, and what she's hoping to achieve this winter. Of course, it wouldn't be Skirious Problems without plenty of laughs along the way. From training stories and travel chaos to the usual banter between Jimmy and Mika, this episode has a bit of everything. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: * Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDhttps://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDlOYzl5ZDlqLTJvN1VxRXdNRThzWnNVUkhxUXxBQ3Jtc0tuZGc3MFVQVTU1eGpYQ0pFQW5qZjRpTS1pZzBwdm1wUWRReE9penVhTmx1ckl6WkdwaGxUTGthNlBXVGcwNHRWdXA1MXBUXzFMdmZ6MzE2OC0wN0VhX05DTVE4UHFuQ2xtcUZkWWQtQWt3OG9FSy1zbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fshow%2F1nVdyNDhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fredirect%3Fevent%3Dvideo_description%26redir_token%3DQUFFLUhqa2QxcEt1cFN0VWUyNlJ6Qm9wWWZ2UFhhbGdhQXxBQ3Jtc0tsR3F5UTREODNORUxGMThDaEVzZFhsaXZQaHYxWDZHUkt1VkdxSUEtei0ycjljdnlUSUg4cFVhSTJmdEpLSHpxekVxWWZmMHBCM0Zfak9JOVRzTm1jdEpqd0VqcWZONWRXbkFiZmsyUmdXeGdNN2FQZw%26q%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fopen.spotify.com%252Fshow%252F1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg%25E2%2581%25A0%25E2%2581%25A0%26v%3Db_avBy6GbeA&v=1KeqOC2POBE * Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjJDNjZxclVSWUZJcXpWVHZtYlpBZm1pTDZiUXxBQ3Jtc0tsMTZ0ZWVzZU9PQXRqVmh6WVU3YXpOcU5IUWZPbkxqb2xrbWRYaUhlRGlEdkVLTktCSjhaUFRoTm5oNVpiVkFZSUdRM0JldmMtQkJtMXl6Z21oQWI3akZSZ2tCMWdXRHl5R2dPbkhscVpqZklYQk1yNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fno%2Fpodcasthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fredirect%3Fevent%3Dvideo_description%26redir_token%3DQUFFLUhqbWtwRlBqYTNpRDh4b1doYkVRUEJ5UWdJcHY2QXxBQ3Jtc0tuSk1EdDY3amUyS3RtZ2tYMVdxSnBPWTZvWllUZG5obTNxcm5OV2NiakUzVWl5THNkeWRaRFZzTHRyZTBQeTd2MzB0ZGFZVUJLVVlhUlRwWEs1aDF2d1BwMFh4UDVkeEZtdnV1Y0FhRWFrVFRvM005cw%26q%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fpodcasts.apple.com%252Fno%252Fpodcast%252Fskirious-problems%252Fid1718097138%26v%3Db_avBy6GbeA&v=1KeqOC2POBE * YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUlyGJW-RXmRlAZHfACivg ⁠⁠🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: * Skirious Problems: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?evenhttps://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVBMb2VWYnlJZjhSN1JPX1FhMXlic19xak9md3xBQ3Jtc0tsempCVjNKNjlPTXpGendqUDJYeDRyMW1sZWlsR0tydzRudm1RWHpob19TRElUTVlyeUtJcnBlVUtkMFprTVkyQW5hLTMxeVF4V2d3d1BHRGQ5YWdEbUZGU2ZDSWNDSEpmRTVITFhJcFg0NTFjT0ptNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fskirious_problems&v=b_avBy6GbeA ⁠

Jimmy and Mika are back with your nb 1 nordic podcast and this time they’re joined by Lillehammer local Kasper Herland from Team Anlegg Øst for a proper deep dive into one of the most impressive breakthrough seasons on the circuit. Kasper takes us behind the scenes of Team Anlegg Øst’s huge year, from the day-to-day grind to the moments that changed everything. We talk about his rapid rise to a top-5 finish in his very first World Cup race, what clicked in his training, and how a small private setup can compete with the big national teams. Of course, it wouldn’t be Skirious Problems without a few disasters along the way. 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 ⁠⁠

Jimmy and Mika are back — and this time we’re joined by Norwegian ski legend Gjøran Tefre for a proper catch-up on everything happening around the sport right now. We get into the current state of the Norwegian national team, the rise of private team setups, and what it actually takes to survive outside the federation system. Gjøran shares stories from inside the Norwegian scene, while the boys throw in plenty of opinions, questionable takes, and classic Skirious Problems banter along the way. We also somehow end up discussing beautiful American women, life on the road, training, racing, and all the chaos that comes with being a skier in 2026.

Jimmy and Mika landed in the US for the World Cup finals in Lake Placid. First days are a mix of jet lag, getting around, and pretending everything is under control. Haircut, icebergs, course checks, a bit of chaos, and the usual “we’ll sort it tomorrow”. This one’s Jimmy taking you through the first days on the ground. No big conclusions yet, just building into it. 🎥 Produced by Skirious Network 🎙 Podcast: Skirious Problems — Spotify & Apple Podcasts 🌍 Instagram: @skirious_problems / @mikaa_ver / @jimmycluggz
