Olympic Biathlon with Sean Doherty and Deedra Irwin
Episode 426
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Buckle up for biathlon! We're talking with U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program members SPC Sean Doherty (3x Olympian) and SSG Deedra Irwin (2022 Olympian) about the sport, competing at altitude, skiing with a rifle on your back, and how you come back after a tough race. Plus, Milano Cortina 2026 got the Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena in good enough shape for a test event. Will the paint be dry? Will there be sandwiches at the bar? Time will tell.
