Heading into the 2023-2024 Cross Country Ski and Biathlon World Cups, we gather listener questions to flip the microphone on Chad and get some much needed insight. with guest Chad Salmela and host (?) Chris Parr

We begin the show with Programming Director of Your Home TV, Dominic Melillo. He wrote a song about Jimmy Buffett, and with his untimely passing, comes on the show to discuss it. Also, we talk with Chad Salmela who with Steve Schlanger has one of the most iconic calls in sports history. Steve surprises Chad, and they both reminisce about the call and relive their feelings and emotions during that time. Plus so much more!

Minnesota native and former US Olympian Carrie Tollefson has been involved with Grandma's Marathon for more than a decade, serving most recently as lead analyst for the women's marathon for our radio broadcast.Tollefson works primarily on race day with Chad Salmela, who has Olympic experience of his own in the broadcast booth. Together, they are part of a star-studded media team each year at Grandma's Marathon.Tollefson talk this episode about her favorite parts of Grandma's Marathon weekend, including the William A. Irvin 5K on Friday night, and gives her recommendations for anyone visiting northern Minnesota for the first time.You can catch more of Carrie on her podcast, C Tolle Run, which has developed into one of the premier podcasts in the running industry.

It's been awhile....lots to discuss.... We talk about... - U.S. skiers hop into the trail scene - Anders Aukland's new training regimen - Chet Holmgren, Chad Salmela and the ongoing body image/journalist saga - K.O. or Hannah Halverson? Did the U.S. make the right choice for the Olympics? - Equal distances in skiing - why didn't anyone care that 88% of women athletes on the World Cup voted against it? - Why I like the U.S. Ski Team's push to incentivize female coaches on course at the World Cup level --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/seder-skier/support

In this episode, we've got Chad Salmela and Kikkan Randall on to discuss the experience of calling the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games, live from a booth in Stamford, CT. The duo worked as cross country analysts, alongside long-time NBC play-by-play announcer Steve Schlanger. While Chad is a veteran in the role, this was Kikkan's first Olympics inside the booth. During this conversation, Kikkan and Chad field a variety of questions on their experience – everything from staying fresh while calling races in the middle of the night for two weeks straight, to maintaining professional composure while watching your former teammates and long-time friends win Olympic medals - or come up short - and even, why are you suddenly pronouncing the Norwegian distance champion's name “You-haug”? Full of insights and laughs, this conversation was a treat, and it's clear that both Chad and Kikkan are deeply invested in growing and serving the cross country ski community in the US.Thanks for listening, and thanks to this week's podcast sponsors Boulder Nordic Sport and New Moon Ski & Bike.

Dickinson is a fascinating young athlete. She was just six when her parents followed family friends in a move to Winthrop, Wash. at a time when the community was starting to make a splash as a premier nordic center in America. Cross country skiing became a way of life, with junior racing and high school as she forged her path in the sport. For Dickinson, her joy of shooting came early on an impromptu range. And while she followed her skiing dreams to Sun Valley after high school, she always kept biathlon in the back of her mind. She was recruited by biathlete and coach Chad Salmela to ski at St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn. and quickly discovered another cultural hotbed of the sport in the Midwest.Biathlon ultimately became her sport direction, moving her way up the ranks from biathlon Junior World Championships to becoming a regular on the IBU Cup. In early January, she'll be one of a select group of U.S. athletes battling for the final Olympic spots for a spot in Beijing.One of the influencing factors in Dickinson's career has been women coaches, going back to her days in the Methow Valley and continuing on at St. Scholastic with Maria Stuber. She's channeled that passion into an organization, the Women Ski Coaches Association, which works to develop, retain, and advance women in ski coaching leadership.

In this episode, hosted by FasterSkier contributor Rachel Perkins, we dive into the issue of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). This condition was formerly known as the female athlete triad, which was described as inadequate energy intake, the loss of menstruation (amenorrhea), and decreased bone mineral density. The name was changed to include males, who are also affected, and to expand beyond the three symptoms originally included. Though not quite the same, the condition is closely linked with eating disorders.This topic has seen a lot of buzz following a November opinion piece in the New York Times where former high school running phenom Mary Cain shared her story of abuse by her coach, Alberto Salazar, at the Nike Oregon Project. While trying to get down to the weight he deemed optimal for her, she lost her period, her performance decreased, and she was littered with stress fractures.Further concerns arose a few weeks later when Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg and Frida Karlsson were pulled from their World Cup starts after not meeting team health standards for BMI and bone density, presumably due to under eating. We speak with licensed professional counselor and two-time Olympian Holly Brooks, registered sports dietician and author of “Finding Your Sweet Spot: How to Avoid RED-S (Relative Energy Deficit in Sport) by Optimizing Your Energy Balance” Rebecca McConville, and long-time coach turned voice of World Cup cross country skiing and biathlon, Chad Salmela. This panel unpacks the misunderstanding that RED-S is an exclusively female phenomenon and how the climate in sport influences the prevalence of this condition, and offers suggestions to shift from a results focused climate in sport to a positive, informed, healthy, and athlete centric program. Here are links to the resources and articles mentioned in this episode:Jessie Diggins Eating Disorder ActivismLauren Fleshman's New York Times Opinion Piece “I Changed My Body for My Sport. No Girl Should.” and letter to her younger self, which was posted to MileSplit.The WithAll Foundation and the "What To Say" campaign, which  offers suggestions for talking to food and body positive phrases to include in conversations with kids and athletes. HBO Documentary “The Norwegian Way” which details the Norwegian development program, in particular the omission of results in youth skiing before the age of 12.  The IOC Periodic Health Evaluation statement regarding more regular health screenings, including bone density measurement and blood laboratory work. The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) “Coaches & Trainers' Toolkit”The Opal Treatment Center and Podcast

Long before the “Here comes Diggins” call by 47-year-old Chad Salmela at this season's Olympics, he was already known throughout the ski world as an athlete and sports commentator. Let's just say since the now famous call, Salmela's announcing talents have become more well known. In what now may be considered his spare time, Salmela is a varsity cross country running coach and assistant track and field coach at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn. For ten years he was the head coach of St. Scholastica's nordic ski team. Salmela began the cross-country program before stepping down in 2016. Back in his nordic coaching days is Chad Salmela. Now, at 47, he coaches running at The College of St. Scholastica and is the commentator for World Cup nordic skiing and IBU Biathlon at NBC Sports. (Photo: Courtesy Chad Salmela) This winter season, Salmela will be the voice of nordic sport for NBC Sports: He'll be calling both the cross-country World Cup and biathlon's IBU World Cup.  As an athlete, Salmela was a member of the U.S. Biathlon team from 1990-1998. He still skis and enjoys the sweet outdoor access Duluth affords. The selfie. Chad Salmela in his Sweden hockey jersey. He'd been rooting for Sweden while watching the IIHF worlds a few years back. In this episode, we talk about the “Here comes Diggins” call, why he stepped away from coaching nordic skiing, and how he prepares for the grind of announcing World Cups. If you'd like to hear a solid interview of Salmela and his experience at the 2018 Winter Games by a great cast of mainstream sports writers and podcasters, you can check that out here.

Even if you aren't a cross country skiing fan chances are you still heard Chad Salmela's famous gold medal call during the Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.  While he declined to replicate the "Here comes Diggins" call for us, Duluth's Salmela did give us some behind-the-scenes info on the race that made Minnesotan Jessie Diggins and teammate Kikkan Randall the first U.S. gold medalists in the team sprint, male or female. Salmela, cross country coach at St. Scholastica, shares what it was like to be a part of that historic race and how it feels to be compared to Al Michaels' "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" call from 1980. Reach out to us at podcast@duluthnews.com

Carrie interviews collegiate coach and NBC Olympics commentator Chad Salmela! Chad shares his scientific approach to training and discusses challenges he faces as a coach. They also chat about his breakthrough into NBC Olympics commentary and his role as a husband and father. Show notes for this episode can be found at ctollerun.com. Chad Salmela As a junior competitor, Chad was one of the Midwest's top junior cross country ski racers, then switched to the sport of biathlon at age 19. After eight years of competing nationally and internationally as a member of the United States Biathlon Team, he moved directly into the assistant coach position for the U.S. Biathlon Team in 1998, while finishing his college degree at Middlebury College in Vermont. After graduation, Chad built and coached a national junior development program for biathlon, managed the 2002 Olympic Games biathlon competitions in Salt Lake City, served as assistant coach and wax technician for the U.S. junior world championship biathlon team, coached cross country running at the Marshall School in Duluth, and announced ski events across the country and on television. Chad was the biathlon color commentator for NBC's coverage of 2006 Torino Olympics and added cross country skiing and Nordic combined to his duties at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, he was the analyst of the cross country ski events, biathlon and the cross country skiing portion of the Nordic Combined. Chad became a household name for his exciting calls of the action. He began his first season as the head men's and women's cross country coach at St. Scholastica in 2016. Salmela had been the school's men's and women's Nordic ski head coach the previous 10 years. He will also assist with the men's and women's track & field programs. In his 10 seasons coaching CSS skiers, Chad led both the men and the women to Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) Championships in 2015. He coached Paul Schommer to the programs' only All-America honors in 2014. In total, under his tutelage, the Saints had 12 NCAA qualifiers in his 10 seasons, including 10 since 2012. Chad was an assistant under recently retired Coach Steve Pfingsten for the first few years at St. Scholastica and prior to that had a role as a high school running coach. Since then he has spent time consulting several elite and master-elite marathon and distance runners.
