Olympics.com Podcast - A podcast by Olympics.com - Wednesdays

China have sent some of their most promising athletes to Norway to transform them into Winter Olympians. A set of athletes aged 15-20 have been given an incredible challenge. They haven’t ever worn skis before but are still hopeful of becoming international level ski jumpers. We went behind-the-scenes on their first day on the slopes. Plus, double Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal, 35, joined us to tell about how to achieve longevity in skiing.
