Skirious Problems is your backstage pass to the brilliantly unpolished world of elite cross-country skiing. Hosted by World Cup racers Mika Vermeulen and James Clugnet, the show delivers a sharp mix of insider insight, chaotic travel tales, training drama, and the kind of brutally honest banter you only get from athletes who spend far too much time together on the road. The hosts aren’t afraid to voice strong opinions, roast each other, or poke fun at the quirks of their sport — all with a wink and a sense of humility. What truly elevates the show, though, is the lineup of prominent guests who drop in: World Cup winners, rising stars, Olympic medalists, wax technicians with cult followings, and the occasional wild-card personality from outside skiing. Their stories bring depth, humor, and a fresh range of perspectives, whether they’re unpacking tense race moments, revealing team secrets, or debating the future of the sport. With its mix of authenticity, sharp humor, and unfiltered athlete conversations, Skirious Problems offers a uniquely entertaining look at skiing life beyond the finish line — perfect for fans, athletes, and anyone who enjoys a good dose of organized chaos.

Jan Thomas Jenssen: Norwegian Banter, Lost Bets and Legendary Race Day Vomit

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!

Jasmi Joensuu: From college skiing to winning the Sprint World Cup

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.
