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.
