The Devon Kershaw Show by FasterSkier

Glory, grit and agony in the women's Olympic 50 k

We're done and dusted at the Olympics after a rockin' women's 50 k — the first-ever at the Games. Devon and Nat smash out a recap of the epic breakaway and the knock-down-drag-out battle for bronze. We'll be back next week. Reach us in the mean time at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com.

Down to the wire with the men's Olympic 50 k

We'll keep it short and sweet: Here's a recap of the men's 50 k. It was a fun race to watch and left us with a lot to discuss. We'll be back after Sunday's race.

A Tesero team sprint slugfest

The highs were high and the lows were low in the Olympic team sprint in Italy, with the Ogden-Schumacher men's team claiming silver and the Diggins-Kern women's pair finishing out of the medals. Devon and Nat break the whole thing down. We'll be back after Saturday's men's 50 k. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com.

An Olympic men's relay wrap and a team sprint preview

We took a couple of days off to do the necessary things, like eat pizza and ski. (And, rest assured, we were working, too — just not on the podcast.) We're back now to recap the men's relay and preview Nat's favorite championship event, the team sprint. We'll be back after that race tomorrow. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We're really grateful for all the support during the Olympics — thanks for notes and encouragement.

Mayhem in Tesero: Women's relay recap

That was a banger. We're deep into the Olympics now, and Devon and Nat return for the third straight night to recap the women's relay. One more race — the Norwegian men versus the world — and then everyone gets two days off. Reach us at devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We'll be back tomorrow.
