Podcast: Catching up with Olympic Medalist Victor Muffat-Jeandet
After providing you with skiing jokes for your next awkward chairlift ride, we visit with Victor Muffat-Jeandet over the phone (3:48). He is, of course, the French multi-discipline sensation and Olympic medalist. We talk about who he’s gaming with during quarantine, what it’s like to race against a drone—and what it’s like to race World Cups, for that matter. We also ask him about the Matthieu Faivre Olympic Team scandal and learn a lot (19:06). Then we take another out-of-hand caller, and as always, we read the mail (43:06).
(Any and all questions, suggestions, and grievances to skiracingthisweek@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @jimmy_who_).
As always Ski Racing this Week is free wherever you get your podcasts.
