Kurbads Podcast | Beyond the Start Line with Raimonds Dombrovskis
Kurbads Podcast | Raimonds Dombrovskis: Beyond Sport, Beyond Limits
Kurbads introduces a new storytelling format – a podcast where people, experience, and inspiring stories come together. In the first episode, recorded at the Kurbads Detailing center, we welcome Raimonds Dombrovskis – a Latvian athlete, adventurer, and seeker of challenges. In this conversation, we uncover lesser-known stories from behind the scenes of world bobsleigh – about teamwork, logistics challenges, and the precise journey to the start line.
Raimonds’ life story is a powerful example of how passion and determination can shape international experience. In 1979, at just 17 years old, he emigrated to the United States, where he became a seven-time U.S. biathlon champion and a candidate for the Olympic team. Today, Raimonds is active in Vanagkalns, promoting winter sports and water tourism as part of a healthy and active lifestyle.
Since the early 2000s, Raimonds has been working in bobsleigh logistics and non-standard cargo transportation, ensuring the delivery of the Latvian national team’s equipment to the Olympic Games and World Championships. In this process, precision, reliability, and experience are essential – which is why Raimonds and Kurbads are connected by a long-standing and trusted partnership that guarantees safe and timely delivery at the highest level.
In the podcast, we also explore Kurbads’ journey in cultural projects, including the Liepāja Theatre production “Latvian Rockets”, which has carried Latvia’s story to Milan – one of the host cities of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. It is a movement where sport, culture, and logistics come together. With Kurbads logistics support, this powerful and inspiring production reaches the international stage, proving that precise and reliable logistics can connect culture with the world and help Latvian stories reach a wider audience.
