Norwegian Oyvind Sandbakk is a specialist in the brutally tough world of cross-country skiing and biathlon. As a Professor with the Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and a Director for the Centre for Elite Sports Research, Oyvind - himself a World Cup cross-country skier - has worked with many of Norway's top athletes in these sports. Oyvind delves into the technical details of both disciplines (including the dark art of waxing!), the gear involved in both sports, the physiology required to be one of the best in the world and what to watch for at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
