Bonus Talk: July 18th at 6pm EST: “The Day it All Came Together” - We’ll talk with Minneapolis World Cup winner, Gus Schumacher, and one of his coaches, Kristen Bourne, as we get into a variety of topics. Gus is a 2020 World Junior champion, who, following that magical week in Germany, quickly made the transition to skiing full-time on the World Cup. In his first season of World Cup racing, Gus finished in the top-30 12 times. But for the two seasons to follow, he struggled with periods of overtraining, and experienced performance flats. In the 2021-22, and 2022-23 seasons, he finished in the top-30 just three and seven times, respectively. We’ll talk about some changes he made to break free from his slump, that lead us all to witness this thrilling past year, which included 20 top-30 finishes, a fourth place, and of course, one of the most exciting wins in the history of the sport. We all know how that day felt to each of us, and this is our chance to hear it from the man who sat in the leader’s chair for 20 minutes.
