Justus Strelow joins us again for another wonderful interview! He was coming to us from the team's Martello altitude camp and graciously gave us plenty of time to discuss a bunch of fun topics including: - Being a dad! - The new coaching staff and what the feeling in the team is as the 2025-2026 season nears - Team dynamics and fun with the German men - The narrow gap between top 20's and top 5's - Preparations for Antholz and favorite venues/ranges - And more!
There are many components to athletic success, from high-performance training to perfecting sport skills. But underlying every successful team is a culture that fosters an atmosphere of success. On the eve of team trials and a fall training camp at Soldier Hollow, veteran U.S. Biathlon Team athletes Kelsey Dickinson and Chloe Levins joined Heartbeat podcast host Tom Kelly for an in-depth look at the athlete-led initiative to build a values-based, positive team culture.In addition to competing on the international biathlon stage, both Dickinson and Levins have taken on leadership roles, serving as athlete representatives to both the U.S. Biathlon Board of Directors and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Quite simply, “Our role is really to represent the athlete voice in any decisions being made by US Biathlon,” said Dickinson.However, one of their most impactful roles over the last year has been their engagement with both teammates and U.S. Biathlon staff in building a recognizable team culture, including the identification of a set of values that staff and athletes can all rally around.US Biathlon ValuesRespectGritGrowth Mindset“We decided that we could all stand by these,” said Levins. “They represent who we want to be, how we want to show up as Team USA – as the staff wants to show up for the athletes, as the athletes want to show up for the staff, and the greater organization as a whole and their country.“It was a really special thing to be a part of!”The values were adopted by athletes and staff together after a series of group sessions that began at the Vuokatti training camp before last season. “We're looking at this from the perspective of emphasizing that we are a values-led organization,” sai Dickinson. “And creating those values that we can come together around and use to have discussions and support each other, and also hold each other accountable.”Want to hear more?

#305: Hello Monday People!
Ukaleq and Sondre Slettemark joined us for a delightful conversation about Team Greenland!

#302: Hello Monday!

Finally! We are interviewing one of the head coaches of the Canadian National Team. It should have happened long ago but we are happy to be joined by Andrew Chisholm for a 2 part interview. In part 1 we discuss: - Andrew's journey to this position - The daily responsibilities of a head coach - Olympic prep and team logistics - Deeeeeeeeeeeep dive into waxing
Part 2 of our interview with Matthias Ahrens. In this section we discuss: - Climate Change - What his athletes can learn from the current World Cup athletes - Changes in shooting techniques - The challenge and opportunities with the German women's depth - The best venue on the World Cup
Our dear friend Matthias Ahrens rejoins us for a wide ranging conversation! We discuss his move from Canada and the Biathlon Alberta Training Center back to his home in Germany where he now works training members of the German Youth/Junior teams. In part 1 we focus extensively on the differences between the two systems (North America vs. Europe primarily) and his adjustments back home.
At every level, the 2024-25 season was marked by positive steps forward for the U.S. Biathlon Team. As the season ended and a new one began with an on-snow camp in Bend, Ore., Head Coach Armin Auchentaller joined Heartbeat from his home in Antholz, characterizing the season as one of seeing what's possible. But he was quickly pointed out that now it starts all over again. And how do you get even better?“It always helps to have results because people just stay positive,” said Auchentaller. “There's a good mood. People see that things are possible. But I think, the day after those good results or the season, when the next season training season starts, once you had those good results, I think the best is to come back on the ground and just think of almost like, ‘yeah, how can I get better?'”In this episode of Heartbeat, Auchentaller speaks to the showcase results of Campbell Wright, winning two silver medals at the World Championships, a career-best for Paul Schommer, and continued development progress by Maxime Germaine, Lucy Anderson and Margie Freed.One of the keys to that progress has been shooting. “In order to reach good shooting skills, we need to work on the basics a lot, like dividing all the little things, like learning how to trigger, learning how to aim, learning how to breathe, learning how to bolt, learning how to go into position quick, and all of those little things and little things. Then put those things together. Those need to be high quality. It will take a lot of patience. It will take a lot of personal workload in their off times when they are without the team on their own.”One of the keys to the growing success of development athletes is Olympic shooting champion Matt Emmons, who serves as a coach for U.S. Biathlon. “We try to use his expertise in a way where athletes get access to experience what he had himself and open up a different perspective, under a different light, and give the athletes a lot of theoretical feedback through that and a lot of sharing, experience and a lot of expertise from his shooting career.”From a 2025 recap to a breakdown of the Bend camp to the vital innovation in the Montana State physiological testing program, Auchentaller covers a lot of ground in this final episode of Heartbeat for the 2025 season.
Just a quick round up of the latest news from the world of biathlon including: - Coaching change for the Czech women and Austrian teams - Laegreid changing ski brands - Roster announcements from many teams including Norway, France, Sweden, and Germany - General chit chat - Trivia time for RJ *Apologies for Jordan's audio. He sounds like he's recording with a tin can. It was a last minute decision to record and he was at work without his mic!*

It's been one month since the thrilling conclusion to the 2024-2025 biathlon season in Oslo so it's the perfect time to catch up on all of the biathlon news of April 2025. We also discuss a couple of projects that we are working on right now and preview a few others. Let's have some fun!
A veteran of over a decade on the U.S. Biathlon Team, Kelsey Dickinson is still packing her skis and biathlon rifle to the far reaches of the world. Along the way, her legacy is growing as a passionate advocate for her fellow athletes, and a pioneering leader for women in sport. Heartbeat co-hosts Tom Kellly and Sara Donatello spoke with Dickinson during a post-season spring break from her home in Bozeman, Mont., where she spends time while not training in Craftsbury, Vt.When Heartbeat last caught up with Dickinson in December, 2021, she talked about growing up in Washington's Methow Valley as a cross country skier, later finding her passion for biathlon at St. Scholastica College in Duluth, Minn. She also spoke about the role women coaches had made in her career – foreshadowing what she's been up to these last few seasons.Dickinson has taken her passion for the sport and become one of its most prominent advocates for change. She serves on the U.S. Biathlon board as an athlete representative and also represents her sport on the USOPC Athletes' Advisory Council. She's a gender equity athlete ambassador for the IBU, and served on the USOPC's DEI Core Team leading up to the 2021 Tokyo Games. She has played a vital role with the USOPC Women's Health Task Force, focusing on health-related issues affecting female athletes. She even served on a Team USA athlete advisory group that examined emerging digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).But amidst all of her giving back to her sport, one of the roles she cherishes most is serving as executive director of the Women Ski Coaches Association, the organization started by her college coach at St. Scholastica, Maria Stuber. What started as an initiative within NCAA programs, is now having an impact on a wide range of sports through programs like GearUp and Trail to Gold.Why does Dickinson devote so much time and energy with such passion? “Early on, I realized that for me to find meaning in sport, I really wanted to make it a place where my teammates or anyone, who wanted to be coaches could have the best experience possible.”Dickinson has seen the challenges through the eyes of some amazing female mentors, like Stuber, who have influenced her career.“I've had some experiences when I was younger that made me realize that, wow, like, sport doesn't necessarily put women and men on an equal level,” she said. “And it's not necessarily that anyone is trying to discriminate against women, but it just sort of exists in the fabric of the culture.”Dickinson has found a welcoming reception from U.S. Biathlon to the IBU to USOPC. “U.S. Biathlon understands that it to be to be a modern innovative sports organization, bringing in women voices and increasing diversity and is only going to benefit the success of the sport,” she said. “The bottom line – I think what U.S. Biathlon is doing is really important and essential for long term success.”Beyond equality initiatives, she sees her work benefiting other areas, including overall team culture and creating more coaches in the biathlon community, who can then grow their own junior programs.“I'm really glad that they're investing in this and taking the time to put their put their weight behind this program succeeding.”Reflecting back on her career as an athlete and an advocate, Dickinson speaks with confidence and satisfaction – as someone who can now see that the work she's been doing has been fruitful.“I've always felt this purpose that – my impact on sport. I would rather be remembered for making sport a better place for women than necessarily my results. That's always been driving me in this space.”Sport is fortunate to have an advocate like biathlete Kelsey Dickinson, who is a pioneer for change and not afraid to dive in and do the work. Through her eyes and experiences, this episode of Heartbeat showcases the impact athletes can have on their sports. Listen in as Kelsey Dickinson walks us through the myriad ways she's having a profound impact on sport.RESOURCESExplore these links to learn more and to get engaged in programs.Women Ski Coaches AssociationU.S. Biathlon Women's Coaching InitiativeNNF Trail to Gold Grant Program
Desde criança, o esporte sempre foi uma paixão. Tudo começou no futebol, aos 6 anos, na escolinha do Grêmio, mas foi no hipismo, aos 9, que encontrou uma vocação que o acompanharia por toda a vida. Apesar de nunca ter se profissionalizado, dedicou-se quase como um atleta de alto rendimento, competindo em categorias de base e principais, representando o Brasil em Copas das Nações e perseguindo o sonho olímpico. Mas sua história não para por aí. Aos 18 anos, mergulhou no mundo do Jiu-Jitsu, competindo em campeonatos nacionais e até no Mundial, no Rio de Janeiro. Ainda como faixa marrom, deixou o tatame temporariamente para se aventurar em outro desafio: a corrida. Em 2000, mudou-se para São Paulo e passou a correr na MPR, quando foi desafiado a completar 10 km em menos de 50 minutos. Apenas dois meses depois, cruzou a linha de chegada ainda com uma margem de 2 minutos. Em 2005, participou de sua primeira maratona, o que deu início a uma jornada que o levaria a completar 57 delas, incluindo 11 participações na icônica Maratona de Boston, sua prova mais especial. Nesse meio tempo, ainda teve energia para tentar realizar o sonho olímpico em outras duas modalidades: o Pentatlo Moderno e o Biathlon de Inverno, representando o Brasil em competições internacionais. Seu gosto por desafios parece não ter limites. Além de ter concluído as 6 Maratonas Majors duas vezes, participou de duas edições do Ironman de Floripa (2011 e 2012), cruzou a linha de chegada da Comrades Marathon em 7h31' (2014) e enfrentou o El Cruce de Los Andes três anos seguidos, conquistando um quarto lugar em 2015 Em 2017, realizou a façanha de completar a Maratona de Buenos Aires em menos de 3 horas, empurrando o carrinho da filha Gabi e em 2021, fez sua melhor marca na Maratona, cravando 2h45'57” em Valência. Conosco aqui, está o administrador, leiloeiro profissional, futuro massoterapeuta e multiatleta, que corre pelo prazer, pela sensação de liberdade, pelos amigos e pelos laços que constrói. Que corre porque é seu estilo de vida e um exemplo para sua filha. Um homem humilde, resiliente e obcecado pela corrida, o porto-alegrense Jacques Jochins Fernandes. Inspire-se!

It's our final look back at the 2024-2025 season. We take a look at the big stories, our favorite stories, some athletes that had magnificent seasons, some athletes that had relatively disappointing seasons. 24-25 was one of my favorite full seasons in awhile. Take one last look back with us!
We return to the hallowed grounds of Holmenkollen for one last visit before the offseason. We return once again to our brightest memories as well as things that we failed to mention in our first recap. This time we included our interviews: - Lou Jeanmonnot after the Mass Start - Franziska Preuss after the Mass Start - JT Boe after the Sprint - Isak Frey after the Pursuit - Sturla Holm Laegreid after both Sprint and the Pursuit - Sebbe Samuelsson after the Pursuit - Suvi Minkkinen after the Mass Start -
We are back, the jet lag has worn off, and we're ready to chat....and chat...and chat! In this episode we ended up just sharing our memories from the weekend. Very little actual race or biathlon discussion. This is so much about just our time on the ground and how much fun we had. Included: - Our memories from the Women's Mass Start - Remembering the times we spent with athletes during the races - HUGE thank you to Tobias Torgersen - So many more memories!
Pokljuka was one heck of a ride. We had surprise performances galore and amazing Slovenian performances. This week we discussed: - Jakov Fak and Anamarija Lampic - Johannes Thingnes Boe's weekend and the state of the Men's Overall - Lou Jeanmonnot and Franziska Preuss separated by just 20 pts - The amazing young athletes in biathlon - A few athletes closing strong including Julia Simon, QFM, Hanna Oeberg, and Martin Ponsiluoma - A few predictions on the discipline globes And More
The final trimester of the 2024-2025 season kicked off in Nove Mesto this week. It was a warm but exciting week of racing! - We started the episode with a discussion of things that happened between Worlds and Nove Mesto including the German coaching change and the Latvian team incident - There were several fresh winners this week including Jacquelin, Tandrevold, and Samuelsson - The Overall Globe races tightened significantly and we discussed how we expect them to play out - We discussed some very good racing from several now regular top 10 finishes including Giacomel, Hartweg, Suvi, and Campbell - The tight race for the top 10 in the Women's Nations Cup for the 5 starting bibs And so much more!
Two weeks after he made history at the BMW IBU World Championships with a pair of silver medals, U.S. biathlete Campbell Wright reflected on his accomplishments. Heartbeat caught up with Campbell relaxing in his hotel room at Nové Město, mentally preparing for the resumption of the BMW IBU World Cup.“Yeah, that was a pretty cool two weeks,” he said said with a grin!At the World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, Wright took silver in the sprint then backed it up the next day with silver in the pursuit. It was the first double medal for the U.S. men in history.Wright talked about how he approached the day just like any other. “I never had any expectations going into any race because that just leads to failure and disappointment,” he said. “And bad things every single time. So, no expectations as always. And, yeah, it's a good way to set yourself up for success.”In the Heartbeat interview, Wright recapped both races – where he found strengths, and where he found challengers. In the sprint, he shot clean, and had only one miss in four shootings in the pursuit.In the sprint, he ran well before some of the race favorites, so he had to endure a wait in the finish before he knew the outcome – with the top 15 biathletes in the world starting behind him. But one thing he knew from the start – he was happy with his performance.“It kind of sunk in when Fillon Maillet crossed the line, and he was behind me,” he said. “That's when I was like, ‘oh yeah, okay. Yeah, you've done well here, Campbell!'”With the pursuit the next day, there was little time for celebration. It was a surreal experience for Wright starting second. He missed one shot in the first shooting, but was clean the rest of the way. Still, it was a battle to the finish to hold onto the silver medal.Despite having just joined the U.S. Biathlon Team two years ago, the historic moment was not lost on him. Most of all, he spoke of what it meant for him to be on a list with his childhood heroes, Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey. Burke took silver in 2013 at Nové Město, while Bailey won gold at Hochfilzen in 2017.“I started watching biathlon or getting to become familiar with biathlon when Tim and Lowell were really in their heyday,” said Wright. “I don't think I'm there career-wise, but on the medal tally it says I am. But in real life, I still don't think I can compare my career to those guys.”Campbell Wright really opens up in this episode of Heartbeat. He showcases his motivations, philosophies as an athlete, and the vital importance of the support he has had from U.S. Biathlon to help him get there.
