In our first interview of the summer series, brought to you by Ski Racing Media, Alan and I had the privilege to welcome the Norwegian tech star, Mina Furst Holtmann, to the podcast. She shared her overall impressions of her 2024/25 season. While Mina didn't score a World Cup podium last season, she was very happy with the increased level of consistency across slalom and GS. Holtmann also told us about growing up as a ski racer in a popular ski racing country like Norway and her route to the World Cup tour. She also discussed the current strength of both the women's and men's Norwegians teams ahead of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics in February, where Mina will look to become only the third Norwegian woman to win an Olympic alpine ski racing medal.
