  • Ep.33: We meet... Sarah Schleper

    Ep.33: We meet... Sarah Schleper
    Sep 23 2024
    In this episode, brought to you by Ski Racing Media, Alan and I had the great honour of welcoming Ski Racing legend, Sarah Schleper to the podcast. Sarah shared with us her great experiences on the US Ski Team in the 2000's, when she picked up 4 FIS WC podiums and 1 victory. She also told us what Lindsey Vonn was like to work with and how a very young Mikaela Shiffrin quickly improved. Sarah, then informed us about her extraordinary path since retirement, that includes, marrying her husband, having her second child (her daughter), going to a further 5 World Championships and 2 Winter Olympics. When I asked, what are the goals for the rest of your career, Sarah responded positively about sharing the 2026 Winter Olympic opening ceremony stage with her son. She said that is the main goal for the rest of her career and indeed her 17-year-old sons. This is a truly fantastic story and I would definitely recommend a listen as we picked the brains not only of a champion but a very aspirational and positive person.

    In the latest episode of the Skiing is Believing podcast, brought to you by Ski Racing Media, Alan and I had the opportunity to speak with the newest member of the Slovenian women's Ski Team, Lila Lapanja. She told us about her childhood, growing up in Tahoe surrounded by alpine ski racing. Her father who skied for Yugoslavia at the 1990 World Junior Championships. She then shared with us her experience of 6 years with the US Ski Team, having been first recruited at 16 years old. This opened many doors for Lila and she told us how her confidence grew, before taking the decision to set up a privatised team, which she has operated in for the last few seasons. More recently, Lila took the decision to begin Skiing for her father's nation, Slovenia and she told us the thinking behind the decision and why she's come to take it this summer.
