Jan Thomas Jenssen: Norwegian Banter, Lost Bets and Legendary Race Day Vomit

Mika and Jimmy sit down with Norwegian ski legend Jan Thomas Jenssen for a chat filled with wild stories, laughs, and some honest talk about life on and off the race circuit.

If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on inside the Norwegian ski team, you’re in for a treat. Jan Thomas Jenssen shares everything—from his nerves about speaking English while knowing the whole national team is listening, to the chaos and embarrassment of the last World Ski Championships and how difficult it is finding new sponsors.

There’s plenty of banter about pranks (including one with a questionable “machine”), tales from growing up on a farm, and some surprisingly relatable details about trying (and failing) to catch fish and handle pre-race nerves. You’ll also hear about training routines, dream jobs, and even a story about splitting his pants while dancing on Norway’s national day.

This episode is loaded with good vibes, unscripted moments, and the real personalities behind Nordic skiing. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a laugh, you won’t want to miss this one!
