Ep. 28 Campbell Wright: From New Zealand to the top of the world.

In this episode of the Race Ready Podcast, hosts Andy Newell and Brian Halligan sit down with biathlon phenom Campbell Wright, Junior World Champion, U23 Blue Bib winner, and 2x World Championship silver medalist, to unpack his remarkable journey from the Snow Farm of New Zealand to the top of the international biathlon stage. Campbell shares how a small ski club at Snow Farm and a passion for racing led him to Europe at just 15, where he built a career defined by resilience, adaptability, and raw love for competition.

Listeners get an inside look at the mindset behind the medals as Campbell opens up about “ego training,” the lessons learned from joining Team USA, and how he balances hard training with a lighthearted, confident approach to racing. His reflections on burnout, belief, and the “fake professionalism” often seen in elite sport are refreshingly honest, reminding athletes that joy, not tension, drives long-term success.

From jet lag hacks and mental reset routines to his now-famous start-line banter and laid-back New Zealand attitude, this conversation captures what makes Campbell one of biathlon’s most authentic rising stars. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or fan, this episode delivers motivation, laughter, and wisdom from one of the sport’s most grounded talents.
