As discussed and announced a number of times (by us and others) it is time to pause the interviews with biathletes and coaches who have achieved amazing things in the world of biathlon, and go with two people that haven't.... us. But it allows you to learn a bit more about the two hosts of this podcast; their background, passion for biathlon and other things, and life in general.

This is the first part of the interview with Jordan being the interviewer and RJ the interviewee. Part 2 will be posted on Thursday.

We hope you have fun listening, and next week we'll switch back to an amazing guest, followed by two episodes of RJ interviewing Jordan.

Cheers! 

In this episode, Jordan was unable to make it, so you're stuck with RJ talking about biathlon data! Data nerds pay attention, this episode will be just up your alley! He goes into detail on where the data comes from, how he gets it and uses it, some tips and tricks for other users and the tool he uses for analysis and visualization. And a well deserved shout-out to RealBiathlon.com

Have fun!

Part two of our interview with Armin Auchentaller! We continue our discussion, going deeper into the popularity of biathlon in North America, the impact of the Olympics, starting age for shooting, training with other nations or combined teams, IBU point changes, analytics and a little about his daughter, Hannah.

More information for anyone who loves biathlon, especially those living in the US or Canada!

In this first part with US Biathlon head coach Armin Auchentaller, we talk about biathlon in the United States and North America, cultural differences with Europe, the future of biathlon, North American collaboration, summer biathlon and switching from XCskiing to biathlon and at what age.

This episode is full of information for anyone who loves biathlon, especially those living in the US or Canada!

We hope you liked part 1 and welcome to the second part of our interview with Ukaleq Slettemark! We discuss some of her favourites, the biathlon family, analytics, dogsledding, climate change, the future of biathlon and much more.
