Brita Sigourney has spent most of her ski career in two places: Standing on the podium and laying in a hospital bed. She's going into the Olympics with a clean bill of health and the some of the best results she's ever had as a professional skier. On the podcast Brita and I talk about her whole life and focus on the multitude of injuries she has experienced over the past 8 years, coming back to podiums each time and more. It's another good one!
