What do you get when you win a World Cup slalom race in Finland? A trophy? Sure. Bragging rights? Of course. But also...a reindeer. Yes, skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin now has eight of them, and they’re just as impressive as her medal collection. On this episode of Sportly, we’re strapping in for a closer look at the fast-paced, snow-packed world of reindeer racing, where tradition meets competition. From the icy tracks of Northern Europe to the rich cultural roots of the Sámi people, reindeer racing is not just a sport but a celebration of heritage and resilience. Join host Kavitha Davidson as she explores reindeer racing’s wild history, cultural significance, and the fight to keep this Nordic treasure alive. Host: Kavitha A.
