It’s a huge achievement to be an Olympian in one sport, let alone a three-time Olympian. But what about aiming for a fourth Olympics in the same sport while also adding a completely new discipline to your list? That’s exactly the journey Australian cross-country skier turned ski mountaineer Phil Bellingham is on right now, as he pushes to qualify for a fourth Olympics in cross-country skiing and the brand-new SkiMo discipline. We explore how he got started in cross-country skiing, his experiences at three Olympic Games so far, and why Australia consistently punches above its weight in a sport rarely discussed down under. We also dive into the challenges of SkiMo, what inspired him to take on this new pursuit, and what it would mean to become Australia’s first-ever male SkiMo Olympian. It’s an amazing story from an incredible athlete that you won’t want to miss!
