Trust us, this episode with Coletta Rydzek is loaded with honest talk, fresh gossip, and a ton of laughs. We kick things off diving into German ski culture: strict performance tests, old-school coaching styles, and how things are changing for the better (thanks to some Scandinavian influence and a little more flexibility). Coletta Rydzek opens up about her own journey, hitting her stride after a rocky start, and even shares what it was like to win her first World Cup with her brother cheering her on.

Of course, we also got some spicy rumors for you - dating drama in the athlete world, boyfriend talk, and a peek at what goes down on TikTok and at German ski camps. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered why biathlon is basically a religion in Germany or got confused by all these weird testing acronyms, you’ll want to stick around!
