ESQUI DE MONTAÑA OLIMPICO: DOS MEDALLAS ESPAÑA, ORIOL CARDONA ORO, ANA ALONSO BRONCE. Crónica por Mayayo.https://go.ivoox.com/rf/168757138Ayer, 19 de febrero de 2026, el esquí de montaña se estrenó por fin en los Juegos de Invierno en Bormio (Stelvio Ski Centre) y España salió del primer día con dos medallas y un mensaje clarísimo: no ha venido a “participar”. En el sprint masculino, Oriol Cardona Coll conquistó el primer oro olímpico de la historia de la disciplina con 2:34.03, por delante de Nikita Filippov (AIN), plata en 2:35.55, y del francés Thibault Anselmet, bronce en 2:36.34.En el sprint femenino, la suiza Marianne Fatton firmó el oro con 2:59.77, la francesa Emily Harrop fue plata con 3:02.15 y la española Ana Alonso Rodríguez se colgó un bronce histórico con 3:10.22, en una final donde los cambios de material y las transiciones —el “ajedrez a 190 pulsaciones” del skimo— decidieron el podio. Para Alonso, además, la medalla llegó tras un invierno marcado por una grave lesión en la rodilla sufrida meses antes, según han relatado varios medios internacionales.Lo relevante, como periodista de montaña desde hace más de 30 años, es que no hablamos de un fogonazo aislado, sino de un dúo construido a base de resultados en el circuito ISMF. De hecho, Cardona y Alonso llevan tiempo compitiendo juntos en la disciplina que también es olímpica: el relevo mixto. En los Europeos ISMF 2024 ya fueron campeones de Europa en mixed relay, confirmando que la pareja funcionaba a máximo nivel cuando la presión sube y el margen de error se encoge.Y si alguien necesitaba una prueba “con cronómetro y acta”, ahí está el Mundial ISMF 2025 en Morgins: plata para España en relevo mixto con 32:45.0, a solo 0.9 segundos del oro de Harrop/Anselmet (32:44.1), resultado que además tuvo peso directo en la ruta hacia Milano Cortina. A eso se suma el dominio en Copa del Mundo: la pareja ganó en Villars y España se llevó el título general de mixed relay esa temporada, con una victoria decidida por apenas 1.2 segundos sobre Suiza (33:18.2 frente a 33:19.4).En ese contexto, el oro de Cardona y el bronce de Alonso “ayer” no es épica inesperada, sino la merecida culminación tras años compitiendo arriba, justo cuando el skimo pasó de deporte de especialistas a deporte olímpico.Sergio Garasa Mayayo #esquidemontaña #radiotConviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-trail-carreras-de-montana-mayayo--4373839/support.

He's gone from prince to prison… at least temporarily. Police arrested the king's brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in public office. They are investigating whether he shared confidential material with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Also: Canada's women's hockey team wins silver at the Winter Olympics in a close game. The team went into the final game as underdogs, but were first to score, and held on to the lead for most of regulation time. Then the U.S. managed to tie the game, and scored again in the sudden death overtime, earning them the gold.And: It looks unusual… a bit of skiing, a bit of mountain climbing… and it's a brand new sport for the Olympics. We look at skimo.Plus: The first meeting of the Board of Peace, NDP leadership debate, money to fight extortion, and more.

Son los grandes nombres del día en el deporte español. Y eso que no practican un deporte que acostumbre a copar portadas. Pero la hazaña que han completado Ana Alonso, primero, y Oriol Cardona, después, en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno, merece todo este reconocimiento. La atleta andaluza ha abierto el medallero español con un bronce en esquí de travesía y, poco después, el catalán ha conseguido nuestro primer oro desde 1972, cuando levantara el último 'Paquito' Fernández Ochoa.

Another massive day at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics is in the books, which means another huge episode for you to dive into, as we welcome special guest David Deguzman alongside Ben & Patrick to unpack all the big stories! Patrick braved the wintery conditions to bring us a firsthand report from the debut of SkiMo, as we learn what it's all about and whether we'll ever see it again. Ben also battled the elements at Nordic Combined to witness one of the greatest sports nobody talks about, and tells us all about it! Plus, we celebrate double US gold, break down the pointy end of curling and, of course, revel in all things Norway! It's another episode you simply can't miss!

Kyiv's chief negotiator describes US-mediated negotiations with Russia as difficult and complex, but says there has been progress. Also: European football authorities investigate claims of racism in the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Benfica. Investigators looking into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie say they believe she is being held somewhere close to her home in Arizona. Researchers in Britain assess the threat from the Chikungunya virus in the Asian tiger mosquito, saying it could spread across Europe. The internet page showing the first ever YouTube video is saved for posterity by London's Victoria and Albert Museum. And excitement builds ahead of the debut of Skimo at the Winter Olympics in Italy. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

We also find out what life is like in an Olympic Village, plus we look at the new sport of SkiMo.Host, Iain Martin, was joined by Olympian and former Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield. SHOW NOTESKirsty Muir finished 4th in the Ski Big Air (1:00)Why Kirsty opted to go big for her final trick (2:00)“The judges have ranges for tricks. She had already nearly maxed out the available score for trick A and while the score for trick B was high, it wasn't that clean a jump, so had more scope to increase. That trick has scored in the 96/7 range before. Plus on run three she tried to add in a new grab that, had she landed, would have asked serious questions of the judges.” Listen to Iain's interview with Kirsty Muir (3:30) #pintrading (5:30) Spare a thought for Atle Lie McGrath (8:00) Chemmy Alcott shares her predictions for the Women's Slalom (8:30) Zoe Atkin is taking place in the Women's ski half pipe (10:30) The SkiMo is a new event, look out for it on Thursday (11:00) Listen to Iain's interview with British SkiMo athlete Iain Innes (11:45) Listen to Iain's interview with Andrew Musgrave (12:00) FeedbackIf you've enjoyed this episode I would love to know.

Dit is een bonus aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit, Jurgen en Guido het over:Slimmer presteren in het Skimo: hoe doe je dat?INLEIDING:In deze aflevering bespreken Gerrit, Jurgen en Guido de laatste ontwikkelingen en innovaties tijdens de Olympische Spelen in Milaan, met een focus op de nieuwe sport skimo.Ze reflecteren op de prestaties van atleten, de impact van technologie op de sport en de mogelijkheden voor talentoverdracht tussen verschillende disciplines.De aflevering biedt een diepgaande analyse van de fysieke en mentale vereisten voor skimo en andere winterse sporten.Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord:Hoe verhouden de prestaties in extreme sporten zich tot de onderliggende fysiologie en techniek?Jurgen benadrukt dat de controle over het lichaam en de aerobe- en anaerobe capaciteit belangrijke factoren zijn bij topprestaties, vooral in sporten zoals skeleton en langlaufen. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek suggereert dat veel van deze sporten vooral een hoog niveau van technologische controle en energiebeheer vereisen.Is korte en snelle training het toekomstbeeld voor veel nieuwe olympische sporten?Jurgen fantaseert over de trend dat sporten steeds meer gericht worden op kortere, intensievere wedstrijden, zoals het nieuwe skialpinsport skimo. De samenleving en sporttechnologie lijken de voorkeur te krijgen voor medaillewinnen binnen kortere, intensievere inspanningen.Hoe belangrijk is technisch kunnen in het succesvol overstappen tussen sporten?Guido en Jurgen bespreken dat veel overstappers in de sportwereld vooral technisch en conditioneel moeten kunnen overstappen. Wetenschappelijk lijkt het erop dat technische vaardigheden en basiscoördinatie cruciaal zijn voor transfer.Kan de ontwikkeling van nieuwe sporten en technieken de kansen op medaillewinst vergroten?Jurgen en Gerrit kijken naar de ontwikkeling binnen nieuwe sporten zoals skimo. Onderzoek wijst uit dat het snel opzetten van nieuwe sporten en de bijbehorende technologieën de kansen voor kleinere landen en minder gevestigde sporters vergroot.Hoeveel belang heeft de mentale veerkracht in topsport, en kan dat gemakkelijker worden beïnvloed dan fysieke capaciteiten?Verschillende sporters benadrukken dat motivatie, flow en mentale kracht cruciaal zijn. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek suggereert dat mentale vaardigheden en draagkracht aantrekkelijk zijn om te trainen en te ontwikkelen.Handige bronnen en links:Video analyse van de Skimo prestatie; waar moet je goed zijn?: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38086366/Italiaanse studie naar de fysiologische capaciteiten van Skimo toppers: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40139202/M/V verschillen in Skimo prestatie: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40017814/Onderzoek van de HAN naar overlappende eigenschappen die van belang zijn bij verschillende sporten (Talent Transfer): https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sports-and-active-living/articles/10.3389/fspor.2024.1445510/fullDe veelzijdige sportachtergrond van Kimberley Bos:

Send us a textYou press play for stoke, but stay for substance. We sit down with legendary endurance athlete and coach Travis Macy to unpack ski mountaineering's Olympic debut, the rise of Skimo Gold as “SportsCenter for Skimo,” and how smart storytelling can turn niche talents into household names. From the first shotgun blast at Leadville to adventure racing across continents, Travis connects the dots between joyful beginnings and professional systems that actually grow a sport.We dig into the sprint and mixed relay—how three minutes of mayhem can hinge on a flawless skin rip—and why Team USA's duo of Cam Smith and Anna Gibson has real medal potential. Travis explains the physiology behind these formats, why training low builds the power you can't access at 9,000 feet, and what a modern program looks like when you balance sleep-high, train-low blocks with precise transition practice and downhill control under redline fatigue. If you've ever wondered how to watch schemo like an insider, start by watching hands and feet.The conversation also tackles the big question: can schemo scale without losing its soul? We weigh the broadcast-ready sprint against the long, romantic epics of Pierramenta, and the absence of vertical and individual at the Games. Along the way, we spotlight youth pipelines in the U.S., how European systems give rivals a head start, and why star building—done with authenticity—creates the next wave of fans and athletes. Travis even opens up about auditioning for Olympic commentary and what it takes to make technical sport coverage sing.If you enjoyed this deep dive, follow Skimo Gold and the Travis Macy Show, share this episode with a friend who loves mountain sport, and leave a quick rating or review.

Double Luge, Skimo, and Mariah Carey "This Evening"

Episode 152: Oh, Oh, Oh OlympicsWe've been Olympic fans since Peggy Fleming's golden moment in 1964—and that love is still going strong! In this fun, wide-ranging episode, Jean admits she's officially hooked on Instagram Reels and shares one unforgettable clip featuring "O Canada" in a most unexpected (and delightful) way. Should it be played at the Olympics? She thinks so.Meanwhile, Jean's Other Half is eyeing Tai Chi—could this be the start of an Olympic training montage? Jean also wanders (happily) into Ambrosia Salad territory before the torch is passed to Laura and the Winter Olympics.Laura brings the serious enthusiasm: figure skating favorites, top Team USA athletes, and a fascinating new sport—SkiMo. Speed skating also gets its due, including Laura's own kitchen-length practice sessions (performed in socks, naturally). Join us for Olympic nostalgia, curiosity, and plenty of laughs as we settle in for the next two weeks!

En este episodio damos un salto a la nieve: viajamos a Milán-Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026. Así es, nos vamos a los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno que se van a celebrar del 6 al 22 de febrero. Es por ello que hoy nuestros protagonistas serán Oriol Cardona, Ana Alonso, María Costa y Ot Ferrer. Los cuatro serán los representantes de España en la modalidad esquí de montaña.Oriol, campeón del mundo en el esprint de esquí de montaña, parte como uno de los favoritos a las medallas en el histórico debut de esta disciplina en unos Juegos Olímpicos. El esquiador catalán competirá además en el relevo mixto con Ana Alonso, quién se ha recuperado en tiempo récord tras el accidente que sufrió hace tan sólo tres meses. María y Ot consiguieron su pasaporte olímpico en la modalidad de sprint en la primera parada de la Copa del Mundo que se celebró en Estados Unidos en diciembre. Hablamos con ellos cuatro antes de la cuarta parada de la Copa del Mundo 2025-26, última prueba antes del histórico debut olímpico del esquí de montaña en Milano Cortina 2026.Podcast Trail Run, con Depa y Tele. 

How do you fancy being up a mountain at a height of around 3,000 metres with the temperature below zero, snow underfoot, variable weather, racing up and downhill? This is how some athletes will be competing in this year's winter Olympics.爬上海拔3000米左右的高山，零下零下的气温，脚下积雪，天气多变，上坡下坡，你感觉如何？ 这就是一些运动员参加今年冬季奥运会的方式。Skimo, short for ski mountaineering, is the newest winter Olympic sport and will debut at the 2026 games in Milan-Cortina. It combines Alpine skiing with mountaineering and is a race against time where athletes are required to ascend and descend mountainous terrain using skis and other specialised equipment.Skimo 是滑雪登山运动的缩写，是最新的冬季奥运会运动项目，并将在 2026 年米兰-科尔蒂纳奥运会上首次亮相。 它结合了高山滑雪和登山运动，是一场与时间的竞赛，要求运动员使用滑雪板和其他专用装备上下山地。At the Olympics, there will be a relay event, and also asprintcompetition which lasts just a few minutes. Athletes start in a steep uphill section usingclimbingskins. These are detachablegrippystrips you attach to skis to prevent sliding. The athletes then rapidlytransitiontobootpackingwhere skis are carried on a backpack as they run up an incline as fast as possible. There is then atechnicaldownhillcourse full of tight turns andobstacles. Because of all the transitions, races can be won or lost in seconds depending on how smoothly the athletes can switch betweenmodes.奥运会上会有接力赛，还有短跑赛，持续时间只有几分钟。 运动员们使用攀岩皮从陡峭的上坡路段出发。 这些是可拆卸的防滑条，您可以将其固定在滑雪板上以防止滑动。 然后，运动员们迅速过渡到打包靴子，将滑雪板装在背包上，同时尽可能快地跑上斜坡。 然后是充满急转弯和障碍的技术下坡路线。 由于所有的转换，比赛可能会在几秒钟内获胜或失败，这取决于运动员在模式之间切换的顺利程度。One hopeful British qualifier, and a member of the GB Skimo squad, is Iain Innes. Despite the sport being included in the Olympics, which he says is great news, he doesn't think the events accurately represent ski mountaineering. "There is no element of mountaineering whatsoever, as the World Cups and Olympics are held on man-made slopes with berms and jumps and perfectly cut steps on the climbs", he told the British Mountaineering Council.伊恩·英尼斯 (Iain Innes) 是英国 Skimo 队的一员，也是一位充满希望的英国预选赛选手。 尽管这项运动被纳入奥运会，他说这是个好消息，但他认为这些项目并不能准确地代表滑雪登山运动。 他告诉英国登山委员会，“这里没有任何登山元素，因为世界杯和奥运会是在人造斜坡上举行的，这些斜坡上有护堤和跳跃，而且攀登时的台阶也完美切割”。However, inclusion in the Olympics is a positive reflection of the sport's global growth and development. The International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) oversees the regulation and promotion of the sport and has established a World Cup circuit, as well as continental and World Championships, all of which have helped elevate the sport's standing. So, look out for this extreme sport this year and feel that adrenaline rush.然而，纳入奥运会是这项运动在全球增长和发展的积极反映。 国际滑雪登山联合会（ISMF）负责监督这项运动的监管和推广，并设立了世界杯巡回赛、洲际锦标赛和世界锦标赛，所有这些都有助于提升这项运动的地位。 所以，今年请留意这项极限运动，感受肾上腺素激增的感觉。

This week, it's huddle time again. We have NO games to pick, not even the “Pro Bowl” and well the headlines will suffice. The NFL head coaching carousel has been busy since our last show. Robert Saleh gets a well deserved second chance as the old ball coach for the Titans. Mike McCarthy gets a very undeserved third chance at being a head coach for the Steelers. One and done? We take a moment to break down the AFC and NFC Championship Games. The Pats made enough plays on both sides of the ball to scoot past the Broncos. While the Seahawks and Rams put on a show, with Seattle moving onto Super Bowl 60. Is Sam Darnold elite? Will a former Dallas Cowboy make next year's big game?? Should the G-League make a play to become the next conference in College Basketball??? And do you Skimo bro???? Download and subscribe, rate and review.

The Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is back with two feature interviews. At the start of 2025, both Derek Gee-West and Michael Woods were teammates on Israel-Premier Tech. But by the end of August, Gee-West wasn't riding because of a contract dispute with the team. Woods, who was suffering from illness and a serious hernia, announced his retirement.Now, at the start of the 2026, both riders have big ambitions for the season ahead. Gee-West spoke from the recent Lidl-Trek team camp. He chatted about coming on the new team and the plans for the first part of the season, which will culminate in his return to the Giro d'Italia, where he finished in fourth-place overall this past year.Woods is back on the bike, and skis, and is in the pool, all in pursuit of a year filled with a variety of endurance challenges. It's part research project, part midlife crisis. Find out more about Woods's plans that could even include the Winter Olympics (in 2030).

On this episode of Endurance Unlimited, host Dirk Friel sits down with rising star Cam Smith, professional trail runner and ski mountaineering athlete who's just qualified for the 2026 Winter Games in Milan Cortina. Together, they dig into the strategy and preparation behind Team USA's dramatic World Cup victory in Solitude, Utah—which not only put the U.S. a ticket to the Games for Skimo, but also set the stage for what's next in this fast-evolving sport. Cam Smith shares his journey from ultra-endurance races to the high-intensity, quick-transition world of ski mountaineering, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the training philosophies, mistakes to avoid, and the unique demands of mixed relay competition.

As the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics draw closer, we're back in the world of ski mountaineering — this time with our first-ever Canadian SkiMo athlete, Aaron Robson! Battling the USA for Olympic qualification, Aaron is pushing hard to secure Canada a spot on the world stage. From adventures in the Rockies to representing Team Canada in track, mountain running, and now SkiMo, his journey is anything but typical.

It's a conversation you won't want to miss!

Andrew Pollard is one of those kids that grew up at Alta and had the mountain as his babysitter/playground.  And while it took Andrew a little longer to become a name in the ski industry--compared to his pro skier friends and classmates, Andrew eventually made it to the top.  But what's different and cool about Andrew's story is that he's not just a skier; he's also, an artist, a DJ, freeride coach, and in the podcast, he has no filter.  All of this makes for a fun episode and Andrew's little sister Jackie asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Send us a textWhat does it take to choose the mountains when a different calling has your heart? We sit with Arc'teryx athlete Emma Cook-Clarke for a candid, high-altitude conversation about identity, risk, and the rare joy of sustainable excellence. Emma reflects on a season loaded with contrasts—top 10 in the world at the uphill and a historic team bronze for Canada, a Speedgoat podium in a record-fast year, and the sting of missing Olympic SkiMo qualification—then walks us through how she's rebuilding momentum by staying grounded in Canmore and training by feel.Emma's path didn't start on talus. Gymnastics built composure, rugby taught grit and trust, and running unlocked freedom. A local uphill challenge during the pandemic revealed world-class climbing talent and led to her Arc'teryx partnership—support that feels like true professionalism: wellness first, smart planning, and access to specialists. We dig into her decision to step away from structural firefighting, drawing clear lines from the fireground to the backcountry: risk a lot to save a lot, fight complacency, and communicate with purpose. That same mindset shows up on technical ridges, at chaotic VK starts, and when the watch tries to drown out intuition.You'll hear a tactical breakdown of World Champs VK strategy, the team dynamics behind Canada's first-ever medal, and a pacing masterclass from Speedgoat—altitude, heat, and humility yielding a steady engine and a late-race surge. We also celebrate the soul of skyrunning at Meet the Minotaur, where handbuilt trails and scree descents keep adventure alive, and we talk Rockies reality: bear spray, smart route choices, and a rare, unforgettable wolverine sighting that reminds us to look up and simply watch.If you're an athlete navigating big goals, a fan of skyrunning and SkiMo, or someone weighing a hard life pivot, Emma's story offers a clear compass: protect your joy, respect risk, and let the mountains reshape what success looks like.

Innika De Rosa's journey into ski mountaineering is one of the most unique you'll ever hear. Unlike many athletes, the Australian didn't grow up in sport, but after moving to Norway, a series of unexpected events introduced her to SkiMo, a discipline now on the cusp of its Olympic debut. Earlier this year, her path took a dramatic turn when she broke her leg at the World Championships in Switzerland, but Innika remains determined to keep chasing her Olympic dream. In this conversation, she opens up about how she discovered the sport, the challenges of recovery, and what drives her to keep pushing toward the Games in what is by far one of the most entertaining interviews we've ever had on this show!
