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.
