This week we welcome Britain's modern-day telemark Eddie the Eagle. Jasmin Taylor holds the record for the British skier with the most World Cup and World Championships medals after winning her 30th World Cup medal in Pralognan-la-Vanoise, France in 2020. During the 2020–21 season, Taylor trained in Switzerland, as French ski lifts were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is now freeing the heel on the slopes of Mt. Hotham, Australia!
We had a great time chatting with Jasmin about how she got into telemark skiing, how the hell telemark racing works, whether telemark ever make the winter Olympics, and what exactly bought a skier of her caliber to Australia in the first place. Please enjoy as we dive into World cup telemark racing with Jasmin Taylor!
