February 05, 2014 – In this episode of Talkin’ With the Gravy Train, host Peter Graves talks with former US and Canadian Head XC coach, Marty Hall, just days before the Sochi Games in the first of a two-part series interview that covers wide territory.

Hall’s history in the sport and the Olympic movement are both deep and fascinating. It’s always a pleasure to catch up with him to get his perspective on the sport through his perceptive North American lens.

It was during Hall’s tenure as US XC Ski Head Coach that Bill Koch won a historic silver medal in the men’s 30km at the 1976 Olympic Games at Innsbruck, Austria, the country’s first and only cross-country ski Olympic hardware.

As always, the interview is vintage Hall, always straightforward and candid, and we know you’ll find it both entertaining but also thought provoking and honest from one of the sport’s great thinkers.
