Mike Danforth

Can you tell us some of the things you did to keep warm?

That there's a lot of nerves that are involved in making yourself go off a ski jump.

And if you're a little bit jet lagged, your nerves are calm, which allows you to kind of operate purely on muscle memory.

Wait, you missed a race you were supposed to be at?

I just think about, like, I've...

and been like five minutes late to a Zoom call.

But to miss a race at the Olympics, like what?

So when you realize what had happened...

Watching on television, the sounds you hear are really cool, like the scrape of the skis on the snow and the ice.

But are you grunting a lot during a giant slalom race?

There's some people who are known as grunters.

Yeah, I mean, there's always like the moment where I see the skiers get airborne.

And that feels like a real moment where a curse might come out, where maybe you got a little more air than you expected.

And I'm Ian.

As we speak, at this very moment, the Olympic torch is making its way to Milan for the opening ceremonies on Friday.

It's been carried by hundreds of athletes and stars throughout Greece and Italy.

Mike and I once talked to, in our opinion, the greatest torchbearer ever.

We're going to play that for you now.

Sir Patrick Stewart, what was that experience like?

We watched some video of you carrying the torch, and you looked pretty fit.
