Luke Winters Is Coming
Listen now
Description
Luke Winters races tonight at the Olympics, and it is high time you learned his name and his story. He’s leading the charge for the American men’s slalom revival, but his path to the World Cup was a bit different than most. We talk about his upbringing, his ability to lay down fast runs on race day, his skill with heavy machinery, and the little details involved in skiing at a World Cup level. And, of course, we discuss the Olympics. After, I read a piece of mail (44:31), then I share a Skiing History Nugget about the transition away from amateurism in the Olympics, a very timely topic (45:27).(Questions or comments: [email protected], arccity.org, or Instagram @jimmy_who_)** This episode is brought to you by: GiveGo (Givego.io).
