Annika Malacinski: How to Save Nordic Combined (and Maybe the World)

from Skirious problems · host Skirious problems

Annika Malacinski is one of the top names in US Nordic Combined. Get ready for a seriously real (and honestly pretty funny) chat about all things Nordic Combined - especially the wild ride it’s on when it comes to women’s equality and the drama around being cut from the Olympics.The crew doesn’t hold back - they dig into the behind-the-scenes scandals, the “gray zones” of ski jumping rules, and what it feels like to see your sport losing its Olympic spot. Annika Malacinski opens up about her journey, the struggle for support and visibility, and why simply loving your sport sometimes isn’t enough. Plus, you’ll hear the group’s spicy takes on the IOC, creative (but maybe a little crazy) protest ideas, and why watching and talking about Nordic Combined actually makes a difference.🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 ⁠RSS-Feed: ⁠https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss ⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems ⁠🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems ⁠Mika Vermeulen: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver ⁠James Clugnet: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz ⁠Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with ⁠Maniac Studios⁠.
