Alexander Steen Olsen and Sebastian Foss-Solevåg

Two of Norway’s finest alpine athletes join The Next Turn this week for a fantastic conversation. While ten years may separate Alexander Steen Olson and Sebastian Foss-Solevåg, both have faced extreme highs and lows in their careers to date. As they head into the second race of the season, Alexander, who is the current World Cup leader, shares his thoughts on his historic win in Sölden a few weeks back, and Sebastian gives us an update on his goals and his current state of mind. Both share what training looks like for them, discussing the mental focus, strategy, and even their finish rates in practice. Alexander talks about the challenge of putting two strong runs together and Sebastian shares how his mindset and physical training has changed with age and experience. This conversation gives a great glimpse into the Norwegian team culture, as well. As always, hosts Martin, Cara and Jeff share their “SWIX Thoughts of the Day”.
