Mia Larsen Sveberg | What Does It Take? | S2 E3 | Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games

Today’s guest has built her life around two anchors: sport and music. And she’s used both to keep moving forward. Mia Larsen Sveberg is a young, female wheelchair curler – a sport dominated by older men and defined by precision and nerve. No sweeping, no corrections. If you miss your line or your weight, that’s it. But Mia’s story starts long before the ice. Raised in Norway by a father with a hearing impairment, sign language was her first language — and disability rights were part of everyday life. At ten, she joined her dad at protests in Oslo. In this episode, Matt Stutzman talks with Mia about losing control of her body as a teenager, finding her way back through music and discovering wheelchair curling during lockdown — then rising fast from taking up wheelchair curling to joining the national team and then arriving at the Paralympic stage in Beijing in 2022. We also get into the tactics of the game, competing in a mixed category and what it takes — mentally and physically — as she prepares for the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games. Produced by the creators of the Emmy Award-winning Rising Phoenix, in official partnership with Milano Cortina 2026 and supported by Procter & Gamble, a worldwide Paralympic partner. This is a Harder Than You Think production.
