In this episode, Laura reminds us of the trials of travelling with skis.
She also talks about Jannik Sinner – his early life as a ski racer and why he changed to tennis. His friend Lindsey Vonn was there to watch him win $5 million dollars at the US Open, but Lindsey and Laura both question why some sports are paid so much better than others. The 3-day eventer Ros Canter was included in this discussion.
