How can a movement as small as a five-degree change in your knee or shoulder position dramatically improve your skiing efficiency? In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas talks with PSIA-AASI National Team member Justin Arndt about his recent 32 Degrees article, “Micro Adjustments: A Practice for Developing Efficiency.” Justin explains how subtle changes in body position—like shifting your center of mass, adjusting knee angles, or refining pole placement—can significantly impact balance, power, and efficiency on snow. Justin also shares how these ideas translate across cross country, alpine, telemark, and snowboard instruction, and how instructors can help guests experiment with small adjustments that create big performance gains. Watch this episode on YouTube to see Justin demonstrate these micro adjustments and tutorials visually. His examples make it easy to understand how tiny movements can lead to more powerful, efficient skiing. The conversation also covers: - Why efficiency is the foundation of cross country skiing - How micro adjustments can improve skiing across disciplines -Teaching strategies for helping students feel subtle movement changes - Details about the upcoming Cross Country Academy at Mt. Bachelor Whether you're an instructor, certification candidate, or simply looking to ski more efficiently, this episode offers practical insights you can apply on your next day on snow.

Presbyterian College cross country has a new leader — and he's building something fast.In ABR Episode 440, Airey Bros Radio sits down with Robert “Bus” Baker, the new Head Cross Country Coach at Presbyterian College (Big South Conference), to talk coaching at a cross-country-only Division I program, creating buy-in after a mid-November coaching change, and building a system that turns consistency into PRs.Bus shares his origin story as a late-developing runner (high school basketball + XC, then a D1 walk-on opportunity), the lessons he learned navigating the transfer portal, and how his psychology background shapes the culture, motivation, and daily structure of his team. We also get into what recruiting looks like right now with NIL pressure, roster changes, and why hungry high school athletes are more important than ever.Plus: training surfaces, “grass-first” development, the case for D1 small-school culture, and Bus' vision to get Presbyterian back into Big South contention.Guest: Robert “Bus” Baker — Head Cross Country Coach, Presbyterian CollegeShow: Airey Bros Radio (ABR)Fuel: Black Sheep Endurance CoachingValue-for-ValuePodcast Show Notes00:00 ABR intro + “Howdy & Aloha” open00:43 Who is Bus Baker?

In ABR Episode 439, Airey Bros Radio sits down with Devin Fahey, Head Cross Country Coach at Cerro Coso College (3C2A), after one of the most impressive first-year JUCO coaching seasons in California community college cross country.In Year 1, Fahey led Cerro Coso to program-first milestones, including their first team score, a conference podium finish, a SoCal Regional appearance, and the program's first-ever 3C2A State Championship qualifier. Devin breaks down how he built a culture of psychological safety + accountability, why “show a sign of life” was the perfect early-season standard, and what it really takes to recruit and develop athletes at the community college / junior college level.We also dig into Devin's coaching influences — including his time as a Division I athlete at the University of Houston under Steve Magness and as a coach at Gonzaga under legendary Pat Tyson — plus why Cerro Coso's high desert trails, facilities, and affordability can be a sneaky advantage for JUCO runners looking to level up.If you're a high school runner, JUCO prospect, distance coach, or someone who loves the behind-the-scenes reality of building a program from scratch, this one is packed with value.Fueled by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching

During the men's sprint cross-country skiing event at the Winter Olympics, a skier's quarterfinal hopes were dashed by unexpected stomach issues, according to the Daily Mail. The athlete reported feeling sick and dealing with gastrointestinal distress, including gas, which left him struggling to perform at his best.The skier explained that the problems began after qualifying, and despite feeling mostly better, pushing himself in the race made his symptoms flare up again. Unfortunately, this forced him out of the competition, leaving four years of training and preparation undone. While the situation may sound humorous, it highlights a serious aspect of Olympic competition: athletes face extreme physical demands while traveling, adjusting to new environments, and pushing their bodies to peak performance under pressure. Even minor issues like diet changes, jet lag, or gastrointestinal discomfort can impact results dramatically.Though some joked about “drafting” behind a competitor who is farting, the reality is that managing physical health and nutrition is far more critical for performance than any quirky advantage. The story underscores the challenges elite athletes face beyond the physical training – including adapting to new food, climate, and routines.While it's easy to find humor in the situation, the skier's experience is a reminder that Olympic competition is a high-stakes test of endurance, resilience, and bodily control. Even a small upset in stomach health can dramatically alter outcomes for athletes who dedicate years of preparation to a single race.This story also gives us a peek into the human side of Olympians – no matter how elite, they're still vulnerable to the same bodily functions as the rest of us. It's a mix of humor, tragedy, and sports science all rolled into one Olympic moment.Check out my work at https://www.cleveland.com/staff/cpugh/ and support the podcast at https://cash.app/$chrispugh3You can also grab a 2026 Topps Baseball Series 1 Factory Sealed Mega Box here:https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/mlb-merchandise/trading-cards/2026-topps-baseball-series-1-factory-sealed-mega-box/o-2309+t-81002141+d-017450348+f-283047133+z-9-4014397671?irclickid=3jBWaF05pxyZWGi0isRWd0EjUkux5cQ3018yUo0&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&_s=afl_impact&utm_source=Impact&utm_medium=affiliates&SSAID=5163860#WinterOlympics, #CrossCountrySkiing, #OlympicNews, #AthleteHealth, #StomachIssues, #GastroProblems, #MenSprint, #OlympicStories, #SportsScience, #Fitness, #Endurance, #GasProblems, #FunnySports, #OlympicFails, #OlympicHighlights, #AthletePerformance, #Training, #OlympicChallenge, #SportsHealth, #HumanSideOfOlympics

When cross country skier Ben Ogden won a silver medal in the classic sprint at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, he broke a 50-year medal drought for American men. The last American man to medal in cross country skiing was Bill Koch, Ogden's Vermont neighbor and skiing mentor. Ogden, who began skiing in Koch's backyard as a kid, followed those ski trails right into the Olympics. He celebrated by doing a backflip off the podium. Ten days later, Ogden raced to a second silver medal in the men's team relay with teammate Gus Schumacher. Ben Ogden is now the most decorated men's cross-country skier in U.S. Olympic history. Ogden grew up in Landgrove, Vermont, and attended the University of Vermont, where he was a three-time NCAA cross country ski champion. This was Ogden's second Winter Olympics.Less than a week after standing on an Olympic podium, Ogden is back racing on the World Cup circuit in Europe. That's where I caught up with him.

A small monthly pledge or donation on Patreon is all it takesThe opening five days of the Milan Cortina Winter Games have produced some spectacular performances and notable talking points. The Spotlight reveals some insights on those performances. We ask whether Lindsay Vonn's decision to race only 9 days after a ruptured ACL was a justifiable, correct one? Gareth has a new favourite sport - Cross-country skiing, dominated in spectacular fashion by Johannes Hofslot Klaebo and Sweden's women. Gareth is less enamoured with figure skating, but we discuss subjective sports and how coverage has improved to offer insights on scoring, and where it can continue to advance.
