Our dear friend Matthias Ahrens rejoins us for a wide ranging conversation!

In part 1 we focus extensively on the differences between the two systems (North America vs. Europe primarily) and his adjustments back home.

Just a quick round up of the latest news from the world of biathlon including:

*Apologies for Jordan's audio. He sounds like he's recording with a tin can. It was a last minute decision to record and he was at work without his mic!*

It's been one month since the thrilling conclusion to the 2024-2025 biathlon season in Oslo so it's the perfect time to catch up on all of the biathlon news of April 2025. We also discuss a couple of projects that we are working on right now and preview a few others. Let's have some fun!

It's our final look back at the 2024-2025 season. We take a look at the big stories, our favorite stories, some athletes that had magnificent seasons, some athletes that had relatively disappointing seasons. 24-25 was one of my favorite full seasons in awhile. Take one last look back with us!

We return to the hallowed grounds of Holmenkollen for one last visit before the offseason. We return once again to our brightest memories as well as things that we failed to mention in our first recap. This time we included our interviews:

- Lou Jeanmonnot after the Mass Start

- Franziska Preuss after the Mass Start

- JT Boe after the Sprint

- Isak Frey after the Pursuit

- Sturla Holm Laegreid after both Sprint and the Pursuit

- Suvi Minkkinen after the Mass Start

- 

We are back, the jet lag has worn off, and we're ready to chat....and chat...and chat! In this episode we ended up just sharing our memories from the weekend. Very little actual race or biathlon discussion. This is so much about just our time on the ground and how much fun we had. Included:
