Your number ! nordic podcast is back and this time we discuss all thats happened in Trondheim ! keep tuned for a full recap of the week end
Mika and Jimmy sit down with Norwegian ski legend Jan Thomas Jenssen for a chat filled with wild stories, laughs, and some honest talk about life on and off the race circuit.
If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on inside the Norwegian ski team, you’re in for a treat. Jan Thomas Jenssen shares everything—from his nerves about speaking English while knowing the whole national team is listening, to the chaos and embarrassment of the last World Ski Championships and how difficult it is finding new sponsors.
There’s plenty of banter about pranks (including one with a questionable “machine”), tales from growing up on a farm, and some surprisingly relatable details about trying (and failing) to catch fish and handle pre-race nerves. You’ll also hear about training routines, dream jobs, and even a story about splitting his pants while dancing on Norway’s national day.
This episode is loaded with good vibes, unscripted moments, and the real personalities behind Nordic skiing. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a laugh, you won’t want to miss this one!

Your weekly race debrief is back ! This time we discuss all that's happened in Ruka for the opening of the World Cup.
Stayed tuned for some inside takes.
Mika and Jimmy are joined by Finnish sprint star Jasmi Joensuu, and let’s just say her story is not your average “Scandinavian skier crushing the World Cup” narrative.
We get into everything with Jasmi: why she took the unusual route and raced college in the U.S. instead of sticking to the typical Nordic system, how she balanced studying finance and marketing with serious training (plus a little college partying), and the wild journey back to Europe that led to snagging a World Cup podium and the sprint globe last season.
The crew gets real about why so few Scandinavians go to the U.S. and actually get better, the financial ups and downs of Finnish skiing, and how Jasmi Joensuu’s consistent results paid off big-time—even if it meant having to handle the haters who think only podiums should count. There’s plenty of banter, some hot takes, and lots of insights for ski geeks, but honestly, it’s just a great listen if you love hearing what it really takes to do things differently and succeed.
