The high school winter sports season is concluding, marking the commencement of playoffs in Seattle, where Metro League basketball is at the forefront. Tara Davis, the Director of Athletics for Seattle Public Schools, provides insights into Metro League sports on the Seattle Medium's Rhythm & News Podcast. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.

It’s officially bracket season in the Chippewa Valley, and the madness is here. In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper dives into a packed local sports roundup — breaking down girls high school basketball brackets from Division One through Division Five, spotlighting the teams with legit state-title potential, and identifying the sectionals that could turn into absolute chaos (especially that loaded Division Four bracket). From Chi-Hi, Memorial, and Rice Lake to Colfax, Regis, McDonell, and Independence-Gilmanton, we preview the matchups, the dark horses, and the heavyweight clashes that could define the postseason. Plus, boys and girls hockey brackets are set — including a brutal Division One boys sectional featuring Hudson, Wausau West, and Stevens Point where only one powerhouse survives. We also hit the college scene with the BlueGolds’ historic WIAC wrestling title under Coach Tim Fader, conference basketball races tightening by the day, and postseason implications across the WIAC. Add in state swimming, wrestling sectionals, and Olympic updates featuring Wisconsin natives Jordan Stolz and Ben Loomis — and it’s one of the busiest sports weeks of the year. No scripts. No forced takes. Just pure bracket talk and local sports energy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plenty to do on this Thursday evening, and we are going to start by playing a little catch up with an old friend we haven't had on in what seems like NINE years. I could be wrong but it's been a long while since Jordan Sather of @Destroying-the-Illusion jumped on with me, but tonight we'll talk about Cannabis Psychosis, the WHO-related stories from last night, James Van Der Beek's sad death, and more. In the second half I am crossing my fingers that Matt will show up, because I know he'll like this segment I have planned on banned Winter Olympic Sports, and other ridiculous extras.

Warmer winters are shrinking reliable snow worldwide. It's leading to adaptions at ski resorts in western North Carolina and at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games. WRAL Climate Change Reporter Liz McLaughlin explains.

As plenty of drama plays out on the slopes of the Milano-Cortina Olympics, Malaysian alpine skier Aruwin Salehhuddin is giving it her all as the only athlete representing her country. From the Olympic Village, she shares her excitement and pride with Yuka Royer, and speaks about her dream of spreading winter sports in Southeast Asia. 

“Healthy, happy, and balanced athletes are the ones that make it across the finish line again and again throughout a long career and leave a legacy.” — Jessie DigginsJessie Diggins is currently competing in her fourth and final Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. I interviewed her back in January 2021, just one week after her historic Tour de Ski win on some of the same Italian mountains she's skiing on now. Since our recording, Jessie has become the most accomplished cross-country skier from the US, with 4 Olympic medals (she won her 4th one today!), 3 World Cup overall titles, 7 World Championship medals, and countless other accolades. Even though it's no longer Covid times (thank goodness), this powerful conversation about fueling for joy, resilience, and longevity in sport remains just as relevant and important today. ---In Episode 37, I'm honored to be joined by cross-country skier and Olympic gold medalist Jessie Diggins. She is not only dominating her sport, but also using her platform to promote healthy fueling, body positivity, and the importance of enjoying food without restriction.Many fans first fell in love with Jessie during the 2018 Winter Olympics, where she and Kikkan Randall won the first-ever American gold medal in cross-country skiing. At the time of this interview, Jessie had also just won the Tour de Ski, becoming the first American to claim the title.In this conversation, Jessie challenges the idea that leanness leads to success, reminding athletes that “Skinny doesn't win races. Fast wins races.” She emphasizes that fueling well, prioritizing health, and embracing joy are essential to reaching the start line ready to race.

Die Olympischen Winterspiele laufen - und sportliche Höchstleistungen locken zurecht viele Zuschauer vor die Fernseher, Livestreams und an die Sportstätten. Doch die Olympischen Winterspiele stehen auch immer wieder in der Kritik: zu teuer, zu komplex, zu wenig nachhaltig. NZZ-Sportredaktor Christof Krapf begleitet die Spiele vor Ort. Genauer gesagt: Er ist in Bormio, einem der zahlreichen Austragungsorte in Italien. Er erklärt, warum diese Spiele so stark dezentralisiert sind – und welche Folgen das für Athletinnen, Zuschauer und den olympischen Geist hat. Es geht um Milliardenkosten, ungenutzte Sportstätten früherer Spiele, die politische Instrumentalisierung der Spiele durch autoritäre Staaten - aber auch um den Blick nach vorne. Denn es gibt durchaus spannende Ideen für die Zukunft des olympischen Wintersports.

Winter sport depends on one thing that is becoming less reliable each year: snow. As temperatures rise, glaciers are retreating, seasons are shifting, and lower-elevation resorts are struggling to guarantee consistent conditions.Hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar explore the ways climate change is reshaping winter sport, from elite competition to local economies. Former alpine ski racer and BBC Ski Sunday presenter Chemmy Alcott describes how competitors have to deal with shorter training seasons, cancelled races and increasing injury risks.They also speak to Daniel Scott, a leading researcher on climate change and winter tourism at the University of Waterloo in Canada, about which cities may still be able to host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics by the 2050s. And Professor Scott tells The Climate Question how organisers are adapting through snowmaking, snow storage and changes to competition schedules.Guests: Chemmy Alcott – former British Winter Olympian and BBC Ski Sunday presenter Professor Daniel Scott – University of Waterloo, CanadaIf you have a question for the team, email: theclimatequestion@bbc.com or WhatsApp: +44 8000 321 721Presenters: Jordan Dunbar and Graihagh Jackson Production team: Grace Braddock, Diane Richardson, Nik Sindle Sound engineers: Tom Brignell and Philip Bull Editor: Simon WattsImage: Reuters

In this episode Nicole talks with Jill Brabec, President of Nordic Combined USA, about one of the Olympics' oldest sports that still excludes women. Nordic Combined blends ski jumping and cross country skiing, requiring athletes to launch themselves down steep terrain at maximum speed, fly the length of a football field, then immediately race 5K on skinny skis. Despite being in the Olympics since 1924, women were denied entry to the 2026 Games. Jill, a Steamboat Springs ski mom turned advocate, formed a nonprofit with other parents to save the US team when funding collapsed. Her daughter Alexa trains in Norway but can't compete in the Olympics due to gender restrictions. The IOC will decide about 2030 inclusion this spring after reviewing 2026 data. Jill draws parallels to women's ski jumping, which faced identical arguments 15 years ago and is now successful. She encourages fans to watch men's Nordic Combined February 11, 17, and 19 to show viewership demand, sign the petition at nordiccombineusa.org, and follow athletes on social media. The sport features 17 World Cups for women who jump the same hills as men and train at Lake Placid, Park City, and Steamboat Springs. Families with adventurous kids can find programs starting at age 5-6 through the website.Website: nordiccombineusa.orgInstagram: @NordicCombinedUSANOTABLE QUOTES"It's really hard to see one sibling able to go to the Olympics and the other sibling not able tSki Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.  Located in Woburn & Framingham, MA and Tax-Free Salem, NH.

Snow here isn't background scenery; it's a way of life. In this episode, we step into Slovenia's winter pulse, where ski jumping is a family ritual, weekends revolve around the forecast, and visitors are welcomed not just as guests, but as participants. From the lively slopes of Kranjska Gora and Krvavec to the serene cross-country trails of Pokljuka and the valley beauty of Jezersko, we explore the most accessible, rewarding ways to ski, glide, sled, and enjoy winter – without the crowds.Two elite athletes, both with their family roots from Gorenjska, a region named among the Best Places to Go in Europe in 2026 by Condé Nast Traveler, guide us through this landscape from opposite sides of the Atlantic.Hockey legend Anže Kopitar, who built his career in the United States, shares what he recommends to friends when they visit Slovenia: basing themselves in Bled or Ljubljana, day-tripping across Gorenjska, and balancing crisp mountain mornings with riverside coffee and Michelin-starred dinners. He reflects on bringing the Stanley Cup to Lake Bled and explains why Slovenia's small size is one of its greatest strengths – where the sea, the Alps, and the capital city are all within easy reach.We also head to Planica, Slovenia's iconic ski-flying valley, where visitors can walk beneath the legendary hill, tour the Nordic Museum, experience indoor skydiving, or zipline across the valley for a ski jumper's-eye view.Slalom racer Lila Lapanja offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at elite alpine skiing. Raised in Lake Tahoe and now competing for Slovenia, she speaks openly about her decision to return to her roots and join the Slovenian national ski team. She shares her personal life story, her strong USA–Slovenia connection, and what it takes to run a lean, independent “Team Lila” – from coaching and ski service to logistics and mental preparation. We dive into race-day details: breathing cues at the start gate, trusting feel as light and ruts shift, and how hundredths of a second can define an entire season. If you're planning a winter holiday, think Slovenia: come for the snow, stay for the culture, and leave with a new respect for mountains that shape everyday life.Enjoyed the show?

The Winter Olympics are set to kick off in Milano Cortina, Italy this weekend with the opening ceremony taking place on Saturday February 7 at 7.30am NZT. New Zealand team Chef de Mission Marty Toomey joined Andrew Dickens to chat about how the team is settling in, and the high hopes for this year. "I think from a New Zealand team perspective, there's no doubt that this team is made up of athletes that are stronger across the board than we have been previously," Toomey said.

There's cautious optimism New Zealand could achieve the country's largest medal haul at a Winter Olympics. 17 athletes, all in various snowboard and ski disciplines, will compete at the Milan-Cortina Games starting this weekend. Chef de Mission Marty Toomey told Mike Hosking that recent form points towards a new frontier of success. He says the Snow Sports NZ crew have come off an X Games with six medals, and New Zealand took three medals in the Beijing Games, so he's hoping they'll get north of that.

In this episode Annie Fast, Oregon-based freelance writer and former professional snowboarder, joins the Ski Moms to discuss two critical barriers facing ski families: accessible childcare at resorts and mothers competing at elite levels. Annie's investigative work for Ski Area Management revealed a troubling trend of resort daycare closures post-COVID, including Vail's Small World, Jackson Hole, and Bridger Bowl facilities, while highlighting success stories at Mount Bachelor, Mount Hood Meadows, Brundage, and Tamarack with year-round programs. She explains why finding childcare information on resort websites is nearly impossible and how this impacts both visiting families and employee retention. Annie also previews her coverage of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, spotlighting Olympic moms competing with young children and the challenges of decentralized venues. The conversation covers practical advocacy tips for ski families, the reality of split-day skiing for toddlers, and why true "family-friendly" resorts must offer guest childcare. Keep up with the latest from Annie!Website: https://anniefast.contently.comInstaSHOP HEREUse Code SKIMOMS for 15% off all labels.
