Gus Schumacher: Breaking Laws, But Not in the Olympic Village
from Skirious problems · host Skirious problems
Gus Schumacher is officially the only guest we know who can hold his own in Olympic-level ski races and in a conversation about why Americans still use Fahrenheit. In this episode, we’re holed up in a mystery spot in Italy (so secretive we don’t even have chairs), and our chat goes everywhere from ski loops to existential crises about workout volume - and, yes, a serious amount of eagle-printed clothing at the Olympics.We grill Gus about why he ditched brutal, never-ending training plans for ski mountaineering tours and a bit more fun, only to discover that apparently, your legs and your brain actually both want to enjoy skiing. Who knew? We share the struggle of crowded gyms, the pain of construction not being finished on time, and the all-important mission of collecting cool Olympic pins.From the questionable smell of Italian race courses to who’s really the greatest skate skier of all time (sorry, not a two-month title!), this episode is packed with good laughs, classic banter, and a little slice of the wild skier life. Grab a snack and enjoy - this one’s a ride.🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg- Apple 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.
