Martin Løwstrøm Nyenget: The long game master
05-03-2026 | 57 Min.
Norwegian cross-country star Martin Løwstrøm Nyengät has got a wild ride to share. He wasn’t some child prodigy winning every junior race, but through a mix of stubborn patience, plenty of setbacks, and some serious grind, he eventually landed Olympic medals and World Cup victories in his late 20s. We chat honestly about everything: weird mistakes they made learning the ropes, balancing family and training, handling brutal disappointments, and what it really takes to survive (and thrive) in the heart of Norway’s ski machine. You’ll hear about rest days that quickly turn into home renovation days, adjusting to dad life on the World Cup circuit, and the occasional friendly roast. If you want to know what makes Norwegian skiers tick, how the best bounce back after setbacks, and why Martin might be sneaky-fitter than anyone at the treadmill lab, don’t miss this episode! 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 RSS-Feed: https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems 🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems Mika Vermeulen: https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver James Clugnet: https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with Maniac Studios.

Skirious Problems is your backstage pass to the brilliantly unpolished world of elite cross-country skiing. Hosted by World Cup racers Mika Vermeulen and James Clugnet, the show delivers a sharp mix of insider insight, chaotic travel tales, training drama, and the kind of brutally honest banter you only get from athletes who spend far too much time together on the road. The hosts aren’t afraid to voice strong opinions, roast each other, or poke fun at the quirks of their sport — all with a wink and a sense of humility.
What truly elevates the show, though, is the lineup of prominent guests who drop in: World Cup winners, rising stars, Olympic medalists, wax technicians with cult followings, and the occasional wild-card personality from outside skiing. Their stories bring depth, humor, and a fresh range of perspectives, whether they’re unpacking tense race moments, revealing team secrets, or debating the future of the sport.
With its mix of authenticity, sharp humor, and unfiltered athlete conversations, Skirious Problems offers a uniquely entertaining look at skiing life beyond the finish line — perfect for fans, athletes, and anyone who enjoys a good dose of organized chaos.
