In our latest episode of Ski Racing this Week, we get Lucas Braathen, the young Norwegian meteor, on the phone to talk all things—including his relationship with incumbent Norwegian star Henrik Kristoffersen. We also discuss how he climbed the World Cup ranks so quickly and what he’s doing in quarantine (2:17). Then we air a pre-quarantine in-studio interview with U.S. Ski Team physical therapist contractor Sarah Miller, who illuminates us on the causes of, and fixes for, the widespread ski racer condition called “GS Back” (22:58).
