As 21 year old Johannes Klaebo was busy crushing his opponents in sprint freestyle finals in Seefeld this weekend, just a few hundred meters from the stadium Agnete was polishing her freestyle skiing skills too.

We all got used in the last couple of decades to snowcat-groomed trails, warm changing rooms – even to pasta-parties at the finish line.

Plus careful preparations and good tactics. ...Wait a second, isn't that a set of essential qualities straight out of "How to Become a Successful Executive" book?
