Today Mika and Jimmy are sitting down with cross country ski legend Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. That’s right—the guy everyone on the circuit wants to beat.

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.

Your nb 1 nordic podcast is back for a race debrief, this time we discuss all the crashes that happened ion Davos, spoiler alert yours truly did crash ! 

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.

Your number ! nordic podcast is back and this time we discuss all thats happened in Trondheim ! keep tuned for a full recap of the week end

Mika and Jimmy sit down with Norwegian ski legend Jan Thomas Jenssen for a chat filled with wild stories, laughs, and some honest talk about life on and off the race circuit.

If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on inside the Norwegian ski team, you’re in for a treat. Jan Thomas Jenssen shares everything—from his nerves about speaking English while knowing the whole national team is listening, to the chaos and embarrassment of the last World Ski Championships and how difficult it is finding new sponsors.

There’s plenty of banter about pranks (including one with a questionable “machine”), tales from growing up on a farm, and some surprisingly relatable details about trying (and failing) to catch fish and handle pre-race nerves. You’ll also hear about training routines, dream jobs, and even a story about splitting his pants while dancing on Norway’s national day.

This episode is loaded with good vibes, unscripted moments, and the real personalities behind Nordic skiing. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a laugh, you won’t want to miss this one!

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.
