Off The Podium

Jens Luraas Oftebro was one of the faces of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, securing a record-equalling sweep of the Nordic Combined events in Italy to bring his total Olympic medal count to five, including four gold medals. It was a crowning achievement for the Norwegian, who, at just 25 years old, has gone on to establish himself as one of the greatest athletes the sport of Nordic Combined has ever seen. But how did he get involved in such a unique sport? What does it take to get to the very top of it? And just how does Norway continue to be so dominant in everything winter-related, and at the Olympics in general? In this epic chat, we learn all of this and more from Jens, as well as finding out about some pretty unique honours he received in the wake of his success in Milano Cortina, and hearing his thoughts on what losing its place at the Olympics would mean for Nordic combined, something that has sadly since become a reality for 2030. It's an absolutely amazing chat that you won't want to miss!
