The intern’s predominant role will be assisting our staff with international and domestic race reports. Coverage includes cross-country (World Cup and SuperTour/NorAm), biathlon, and nordic combined events.

- Strong writing skills and well-developed communication skills

Expectations:
- Assist with transcribing FS interviews verbatim
- Occasional phone interviews with athletes and coaches
- Collaborate with FS editor and FS team via Slack, email, and phone
It is important to note that this position requires a committed, reliable individual, as most work is time sensitive.
