Skirious problems – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s episode, Jimmy, who is joined by Andrew Musgrave (get well soon Mika!), sits down with Swedish cross-country skiing sensation Moa Ilar for an inside look at her journey through the sport and the upcoming Tour de Ski.

You’ll hear Moa Ilar share everything from growing up in a tiny village that’s obsessed with swimming, to what it’s like chasing podiums (and sometimes bagging a win out of nowhere). She spills on training after foot surgery, why fighting for a spot in the Swedish women’s team is both awesome and stressful, and gives her honest opinions about this year’s Tour de Ski changes.

There’s a bunch of good stories in this one: wild relay team drama, crazy Olympic quotas, and the infamous moment Moa Ilar got disqualified for helping a teammate—and got some pretty wild messages online. Plus, you’ll hear who she’d dream of training with (spoiler: it’s wholesome), and everyone shares a laugh about rumors and weird race formats.

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.
