You know our show’s obsession with a certain 2006 Olympic moguls champion, but what about the other medallists from Torino? Today we chat with silver medallist Mikko Ronkainen about THAT final, his incredible career, and of course, Dale Begg-Smith. Mikko takes us through how he first got into the sport, what freestyle skiing was like in Finland in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and how his international career actually began in Australia. He reflects on his three Olympic appearances, including how he turned the heartbreak of Salt Lake City into success in Torino, and shares the story of celebrating his medal that night with Dale. It’s a fascinating, funny, and unmissable chat with one of moguls skiing’s greats.
