= MILAN CORTINA 2026 =
From Lane One
The seal of approval from the International Olympic Committee to the Milan Cortina organizers came Monday at 11 a.m. local time, as IOC Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi (SUI) said at the morning news briefing:
“From an operational standpoint, the system is stable
“And it really matters, when on day three, and this was today, the IOC President [Kirsty Coventry] is able to say, ‘no more coordination meetings. It’s pretty rare that it happens day three, and that allows everyone to attend to what we’re here for, and that’s sport. So, congratulations for this [organizing] team.”
He noted that there are no “systemic” issues, but there are problems – here and there – and “problems, yes, but we have an team which is amazingly responsive, and when I say the team, it is not only Milano Cortina, but it is also all the authorities that have to contribute to smooth operations.”
He also repeated praise from IOC Athletes’ Commission members on the strong attendance so far and the enthusiasm of the spectators at the venues. The organizers noted that 62,000 more tickets were sold Sunday at the nine sites in operation and 127,000 through the first three days (two competition days) and more than 1.2 million in total so far.

Once again, German and American media had questions on the exchange between Freestyle Halfpipe skier Hunter Hess and U.S. President Donald Trump. Hess said in a Friday briefing, “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now. It’s a little hard, there’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren’t.
“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”
Hess added on his Instagram page on 7 February, writing: “I love my country.
“There is so much that is great about America, but there are always things that could be better. One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is that we have the right and the freedom to point that out. The best part of the Olympics is that it brings people together, and when so many of us are divided we need that more than ever. I cannot wait to represent Team USA next week when I compete.”
Trump bashed him on his own platform on Sunday, in part: “U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics.”
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee told The Associated Press, “The USOPC stands firmly behind Team USA athletes and remains committed to their well-being and safety, both on and off the field of play,” and is monitoring social media platforms for abusive and potentially harmful messages.
The quadrennial Winter Games are going well, but politics is a 24/7/365 sport.

● Il Tempo Olimpici ● Cloudy skies are projected, with cooler temperatures of 49 F for the high and 43 F for the low. There is no rain in the forecast until next week.
In Cortina, cloudy and cold is projected with a high of 29 F and low of 21 F. Also, no snow until Thursday (maybe).
● Scoreboard ● Italy continues at the top of the medal table, even without a podium on Monday:
● 9: Italy (1-2-6)
● 7: Japan (2-2-3)
● 6: Norway (3-1-2)
● 5: Switzerland (3-1-1)
● 4: Germany (2-1-1)
● 4: Austria: (1-3-0)
● 2: eight tied
The U.S. is one of those with two medals (2-0-0); this is through 18 of 116 events.
A better indication of team performance has to go beyond three places, so The Sports Examiner returns our eight-place scoring, using the NCAA track & field format of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 to score each event. After three days, the top 12:
● 94: Italy
● 73: Norway
● 65.5: Austria
● 62.5: Japan
● 59.5: Switzerland
● 40: Germany
● 39.5: United States
● 37: France
● 31: Canada
● 24: Czech Republic
● 24: Sweden
● 23: China
The Italians already have an impressive 19 point-scorers in this Games. Austria is second with 17, then Norway with 13.
● Television ● NBC said its Saturday coverage of the Games averaged 28.5 million viewers across NBC, USA Network, CNBC and the streaming platform Peacock, the “most-watched Winter Games presentation since 2014 (Day 10 of 2014 Sochi Olympics), according to preliminary data.”
Streaming accounted for 4.1 million viewers. The audience was almost double the 14.8 million for the same day of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games.
● Alpine Skiing ● Following her crash 13 seconds into her women’s Downhill race, American star Lindsey Vonn was airlifted to a Cortina hospital for immediate treatment, then to Ca’Foncello Hospital in Treviso and had surgery. Per the hospital: “In the afternoon, she underwent orthopedic surgery to stabilize the fracture sustained in her left leg.”
Reuters reported that a second procedure was undertaken to “prevent complications linked to swelling and blood flow.”
Vonn, 41, competed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, sustained in a January crash in Switzerland, but she successfully completed two training runs prior to the Olympic Downhill. She wrote on Instagram:
“Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tail, it was just life. I dared to dream and had worked so hard to achieve it. Because in Downhill ski racing the difference between a strategic line and a catastrophic injury can be as small as 5 inches.
“I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever.
“Unfortunately, I sustained a complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly.”
● Bobsled & Skeleton ● American driver Kris Horn had his appeal to race in the Two-Man competition turned down by the Appeals Tribunal of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation because he did not meet the races requirement.
IBSF rules require placements in eight total IBSF races during the 15 1/2-month qualifying period and placed in at least five of the eight on two different tracks. Horn ranked in four races and crashed out of the others he entered, and had his appeal dismissed.
So, although Horn helped the U.S. achieve two quota slots for the Games, he won’t be able to race himself. The Associated Press noted that the U.S. has always had at least two sleds in all 21 prior Olympic Two-Man events.
● Figure Skating ● Three-time U.S. champion Amber Glenn won a Team Event gold with the U.S. squad on Sunday, then was the subject of criticism by Canadian artist Seb McKinnon (CLANN), who posted on X:
“So just found out an Olympic figure skater used one of my songs without permission for their routine. It aired all over the world … what? Is that usual practice for the Olympics?”
Glenn had been using McKinnon’s “The Return” in routines for two years – without incident – but the Olympics is, of course, different. Glenn left Milan to go to a training site to prep for the women’s competition later in the Games.
Music rights and figure skating have been a recent issue since 2014 when rules were changed to allow music with vocals and the International Skating Union has neem trying to develop a rights-clearance solution, as have third parties. But it’s a clouded issue, and continues so.
= RESULTS: MONDAY, 9 FEBRUARY =
(5 finals across 5 sports & disciplines)
● Alpine Skiing: Men’s Team Combined
In its first Olympic appearance, matching a Downhiller and Slalom racer from the same country, no appeared able to stop the Swiss combo of Downhill champion Franjo von Allmen and Tanguy Nef. Or for that matter, the second Swiss team of superstar Marco Odermatt and Loic Meillard.
No one did. Von Allmen was surprisingly only fourth after the Downhill portion, but the fresh Nef won the Slalom and the two timed 2:44.04 and won the event comfortably as the no. 1 Swiss team.
In a sport where 1,000ths of a second make the difference, Switzerland 2 – Odermatt and Meillard – were 0.99 back at 2:45.03, with Meillard unable to catch their countrymen on the Slalom leg after Odermatt had been third in the Downhill.
Their time, however, only tied them with the Austria 1 pair of Vincent Kriechmayr and Manuel Feller (2:45.03) and they shared the silver.
The second Austrian team of Raphael Haaser and Michael Matt were a very close fourth in 2:45.06.
The U.S. pair of Kyle Negomir and River Radamus timed 2:47.34 and finished 19th.
● Freestyle Skiing: Women’s Slopestyle
China’s superstar Eileen Gu won two golds at the Beijing 2022 Games, but had to settle for silver in the Slopestyle, thanks to Swiss Mathilde Gremaud, a two-time World Champion since.
So, Gu was happy to lead the first round at 86.58, with Gremaud second at 83.60 as the only flyers to exceed 80 points. But in round two, Gu couldn’t land her new “disaster” trick and scored just 23.00. But Gremaud performed perfectly – one of her best ever, she said later, and scored 86.96 to take the lead.
No one else was close and Canada’s Megan Oldham, a three-time Worlds medalist, improved in the final round at 76.46 to move from fourth to third and secured the bronze by the time Gu and Gremaud came up in the final round.
Gu missed on “disaster” again and abandoned the run, so Gremaud celebrating, adding the Swiss flag to her bib and sailed down the run on the way to her second straight gold medal. She’s now won silver-gold-gold in the last three Games in this event and made it three straight Swiss wins, after Sarah Hoefflin’s 2018 victory.
Teen Avery Krumme, the lone U.S. finalist, finished 11th at 52.40.
● Ski Jumping: Men’s Normal Hill (109 m)
German Philipp Raimund, on fire during the World Cup season with five medals, led the first round at 135.6 points, ahead of surprising Valentin Foubert (FRA: 134.6) and Kristoffer Sundal (NOR: 132.9). Favorite Domen Prevc was eighth at 130.6.
The second round was chaotic as well, but not for Raimund. A six-time World Cup medalist, but never a winner, Raimund, 25, upped his game and scored 138.5 points on the final jump of the event to win easily at 274.1. He’s previously won just two silvers and four World Cup bronzes.
Behind him, Poland’s Kacper Tomasiak, 19, and a winner of two World Cup medals – both this season – got off a strong jump at 107.0 m and scored 137.9 points and moved him into second for his first international medal. Wow.
Japan’s Ren Nikaido, expected to contend, moved from sixth to third with an excellent second jump of 106.5 m and 134.9 points for a 266.0 total. But he only tied for the bronze with another surprise, Austria’s Gregor Deschwanden, 34. He hadn’t won a World Cup medal since 1 January 2025, but was fourth after the first round and moved up to third, scoring 133.2 for a 266.0 total and a share of third.
Foubert slid to fifth, Prevc finished sixth, and defending champ Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan was eighth. PyeongChang 2018 champion Andreas Wellinger (GER) was 17th. The American finalists included Jason Colby (20th: 252.3) and Tate Frantz (251.9, tied for 21st). Kevin Bickner did not make the final.
● Snowboard: Women’s Big Air
Japan’s Kokomo Murase, the 2025 World Champion, took the first-round lead at 89.75, barely ahead of Seungeun Yu (KOR: 87.75), with 2025 Worlds runner-up Reira Iwabuchi (JPN) well back in third at 82.75.
Mari Fukada (JPN), the 2025 Worlds bronze winner, fired up in round two at 85.00 to get back into contention and then 2022 Olympic silver winner Zoi Sadowski-Synnott (NZL) won the second round at 88.75.
That left seven real contenders for medals in the third round, with the two best scores of the day counting. Fukada fell out of contention as the no. 3 starter, scoring only 30.00 for a 115.00 total. Sadowski-Zynnott, fifth in the order, sailed to a good 83.50 mark and totaled 172.75 for the lead.
Iwabuchi fell out of contention at no. 6, scoring only 20.50 and finishing 11th. Sadowski-Synnott was still in the lead when Murase came up at no. 11, but she responded brilliantly, scoring 89.25 and taking the lead at 179.00 with only Yu remaining. But she did not improve and stayed at 171.0 and settled for the bronze.
Sadowski-Synnott now has medals in all three Games in which Big Air has been held, going 3-2-2; she’s also the defending Olympic champ on Slopestyle. Murase moved up from bronze to gold and now has both Olympic and Worlds golds.
Two-time gold medalist Anna Gasser (AUT), who has said she is retiring, had a rough day, finishing eighth (121.25).
● Speed Skating: Women’s 1,000 m
It came down to the 15th and final pair with defending Olympic champ Miho Takagi (JPN) and Dutch star Jutta Leerdam, the 2022 Olympic runner-up and two-time World Champion, trying to overhaul Femke Kok (NED), the seasonal World Cup winner.
Kok set an Olympic Record of 1:12.59 in the 13th pair against American Brittany Bowe, the 2022 Olympic bronzer and a three-time World Champion (1:14.55).
Leerdam – with fiance Jake Paul cheering in the stands – pushed hard in the middle of her race and got away from Takagi and sailed across the line in 1:12.31, winning the gold and taking Kok’s Olympic Record. Takagi closed well and finished in 1:13.95, taking the bronze from Bowe, who skated superbly, but ended up fourth in her best shot at an individual medal.
Fellow American Erin Jackson, the 2022 500 m champ, also skated well and finished sixth overall in 1:15.00.
The crowd, heavily clad in orange – Dutch fans – cheered wildly, as a Dutch skater won a medal in this event for the sixth straight Games, and won for the fourth time in the last eight. It’s Leerdam’s first Olympic gold, to go with five Worlds golds.
Elsewhere:
● Figure Skating: The Ice Dance competition got going with the Rhythm Dance, and French contenders-for-gold Laurence Fournier Beaudry and 2022 Olympic champ Guillaume Cizeron was on early and were brilliant, scoring 90.18, by far the leader.
Canada’s Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, the two-time Worlds silver medalists, were more than enthusiastic, mugging for the judges right in front of their scoring positions and bringing the crowd with them, scoring 86.18 to stand second before World Champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the U.S. took the ice as the final pair.
Dancing to Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away,” the precision and technical merit was outstanding and had the crowd roaring at the finish, with a huge smile for the married couple. They were second in the technical scoring by 0.40 and ended up at 89.72, in second place.
Britain’s 2025 Worlds bronze winners Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson scored 85.47 for fourth overall, ahead of two-time Worlds medalists Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri (ITA: 84.28). Americans Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik were sixth in 83.53.
Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko of the U.S. placed 11th at 78.15.
● Ice Hockey: The U.S. got some sharp goaltending early against an aggressive Swiss team from Gwyneth Philips, who was replaced at the end of the second period by Ava McNaughton, and the two combined for a 5-0 shutout that moved the American record to 3-0, at the top of Group A.
The U.S. went up at the 6:04 mark in the game on a Haley Winn goal, then Joy Dunne scored at 14:08 of the second for a 2-0 lead.
The U.S. offense was in gear, but the Swiss managed 15 shots in the first two periods, to 37 for the Americans. In the third, the U.S. poured it on with goals from Hannah Bilka (11:17), Alex Carpenter (16:34) and Caroline Harvey (17:42) for the 5-0 final.
Canada was in action against the Czech Republic in its second match, and dominated with a 5-1 win to move to 2-0, with a 4-0 blitz in the first period.
The Americans and Canadians will renew their rivalry on Tuesday to decide the winner of Group A.
= PREVIEWS: TUESDAY, 10 FEBRUARY =
(9 finals across 8 sports & disciplines)
● Alpine Skiing: Women’s Team Combined
This may be a re-run of the 2025 World Championships, when American Downhill winner Breezy Johnson teamed up with superstar Mikaela Shiffrin to win the Worlds women’s Team Combined .
Then, Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami (now injured) and Wendy Holdener took second and Austrians Stephanie Venier and Katharina Truppe won bronze. In Cortina, the Swiss have 2022 Olympic Downhill champ Corinne Suter – she was 14th on Sunday – to pair with 2025 World Slalom champ Camille Rast. Holdener is back for the Slalom, this time with Jasmine Flury on Downhill.
Truppe is back for Austria and will combine with Downhill co-fourth-placer Cornelia Huetter, so the podium could look much the same as the 2025 Worlds.
Another contender: Germany’s Downhill runner-up, Emma Aicher is good at the Slalom too and she will take the Slalom duties with Olympic ninth-placer Kira Weidle-Winkelmann handling the Downhill.
Countries can enter more than one team and the U.S. could have another medal possibility with Downhill co-fourth-placer Jackie Wiles and Paula Moltzan in the Slalom. The Downhill is held first, in the morning, followed by the Slalom in the late afternoon.
● Biathlon: Men’s Individual
France has the defending Olympic champ in Quentin Fillon Maillet returning, but a better bet might be teammate Eric Perrot, the 2025 World Champion and winner of the last two World Cup races (both 15 km) just before the Games.
He will have to deal with Norway’s new star, Johan-Olav Botn, who won three World Cup races, and teammates Vetle Christiansen and Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, who also won golds. Given the success of the home team, however, the most dangerous man on the course might be three-time World Cup winner Tommaso Giacomel, who has the most World Cup wins this season, with four, plus two silvers … and the World Championships silver in 2025.
The U.S. has never won an Olympic medal in this sport and has high hopes for 2-year-old Campbell Wright. Born in New Zealand, he was a 2022 Olympic for the Kiwis, but then switched to the U.S. and stunned everyone with Worlds silvers in 2025 in the 10 km Sprint and 12.5 km Pursuit. Is this history waiting to happen?
● Cross Country Skiing: Men’s and Women’s Sprint
The second step in Norwegian star Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo’s run at a possible six gold medals – he won six at the 2025 World Championships – is the Classical Sprint. He’s already the Sprint winner from 2018 and 2022 and the only man to win the event more than once.
During the 2025-26 World Cup season, the Classical Sprint was held four times and he won all four. Moreover, Norwegians won seven of the 12 medals available, so there are other possibilities.
It’s hard to see Klaebo losing, but medals will be sought by World Cup medalists like Jules Chappez (FRA: 2023 Worlds bronze), Swede Edvin Anger and American Gus Schumacher. Italy’s Federico Pellegrino has won the last two Olympic silvers, but is a better Freestyle than Classical skier (and won two World Cup medals in the Free Sprint). Finland’s Lauri Vuorinen won the Worlds bronze in 2025.
The women’s Sprint is not a foregone conclusion at all. The Beijing 2022 medal winners, Swedes Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist and American Jessie Diggins all figure to be in the fight and Sundling won the 2025 Worlds in this event, over Norway’s Kristine Skistad and Nadine Faehndrich (SUI).
During the World Cup season, the four Classical Sprints were won by Skistad, Johanna Hagstroem (SWE), Finn Jasmi Joensuu and Swede Linn Svahn. Swedes Sundling, Emma Ribom and Swiss star Faehndrich all won medals. If you’re looking for an emerging star, how about German Laura Gimmler, runner-up to Svahn in the last Sprint before the Games?
Diggins didn’t win a Sprint medal in the World Cup this season, but irritated after falling in the Skiathlon, she is dangerous.
● Curling: Mixed Doubles
Monday saw the end of the round-robin play with 2021 Worlds winners Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat leading at 8-1, followed by defending champs Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosauer (ITA: 6-3) and the U.S. pair of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin, the 2023 World Champions (6-3). Sweden’s brother-sister combo of Isabella and Rasmus Wrana were fourth at 5-4.
In the semis, Britain and Sweden were 3-3 through five ends, but Wrana and Wrana stunned with a five-point sixth end to take an 8-3 lead and added one in the seventh for an upset, 9-3 win and a spot in the gold-medal final.
Italy and the U.S. were tighter, with big ends through the first four with two for Italy in the first and third and two and three for the Americans in ends two and four. The U.S. got two more in the sixth for a 7-5 lead, but the defending champs stormed back with three in the seventh for an 8-7 lead and huge cheers from the home crowd. In the eighth, Dropkin’s final shot pushed the Italian stones away, then Constantini’s stone moved Dropkin’s away. But the U.S. had the hammer and Thiesse’s shot rolled the red stone away for two points and a 9-8 win.
Italy had beaten the U.S. in the morning, 7-6, in the final series of round-robin matches, but the Americans got even, helped by their own cheering section in Cortina.
It will be the first medal for the U.S. in Olympic Mixed Doubles; Sweden (Almida de Val and Oskar Eriksson) won bronze in 2022. The U.S. won the round-robin match, 8-7.
● Freestyle Skiing: Men’s Slopestyle
Beijing 2022 Big Air champion Birk Ruud (NOR: 81.75) led the men’s qualifying, and the U.S. qualified three to the final: 2023 Worlds runner-up Mac Forehand (6th), defending Olympic champ Alex Hall in 8th and Konnor Ralph in 10th.
At the 2025 Freestyle Worlds, Ruud won gold in Slopestyle for the second time, but was chased by Forehand and Hall for the medals. Hall, although just 27, has vast experience and owns Worlds Slopestyle bronzes from 2021 and 2025.
There are other contenders, such as Swiss Andri Ragettli (the 2021 World Champion), Austria’s 2019 World Junior champ Matej Svancer and New Zealand’s Luca Harrington, the 2025 World Big Air gold medalist.
● Luge: Women’s Singles
Germany has won this event seven straight times in Olympic competition and has gone 1-2 in six of those seven Games. After the first day … same.
Julia Taubitz and Merle Fraebel went 1-2 at the 2025 Worlds and Taubitz has won gold or silver in six straight Worlds. Fraebel won twice, and won the first run on Monday in 52.590, with Taubitz second at 52.638. Then Taubitz got going with a track record of 52.550 in the second run and Fraebel had to settle for second at 52.659.
So after two of four runs, Taubitz leads at 1:45.188 to 1:45.249, a healthy 0.61-second edge.
It was further back for third and a surprise for Latvia’s Elina Bota, fifth and third in her two runs for a 1:45.683 total, ahead of home favorite Verena Hofer (ITA: 1:45.743).
American Ashley Farquharson – 12th in 2022 a World Cup bronze winner this season – is in a medal-contending position in fifth at 1:45.796, racing to fourth and seventh-place finishes in her two runs.
Fellow U.S. slider Emily Fischnaller (nee Sweeney) stood eighth at 1:45.872, but Summer Britcher, a two-time World Cup winner this season, had a bad start on her first run and was 15th, then 13th on her second. She’s 12th overall at 1:46.614.
● Short Track: Mixed Relay
This will be only the second appearance for the 2,000 m relay, with China winning the 2022 edition, ahead of Italy and Hungary.
The event was held four times during the World Cup season, with four different winners: China, Canada, South Korea and The Netherlands. The Dutch (1-2-0), Canadians (1-0-2) and Koreans (1-1-1) were the all consistent, with three medals each in the four races.
That makes those three the medal favorites, but China and the U.S., especially with stars Andrew Heo, Corinne Stoddard and Kristen Santos-Griswold expected to race.
But this has been Canada’s year in Short Track, led by William Dandjinou and Courtney Sauralt and they will be hard to beat.
● Ski Jumping: Mixed Team (109 m hill)
This is the second time this event has been in the Games, first in 2022 in Beijing, with Slovenia – with Peter Prevc on the team – winning over Russia and Canada.
In 2026, there are double the number of Prevcs ready to jump, with men’s star Domen and younger sister Nika, already the Normal Hill silver medalist. They placed second and first in the two World Cup events this season, adding Timi Zajc and Nika Vodan.
In both events, Japan won gold and bronze, with men’s stars Ryoyu Kobayashi and Ren Nikaido, women’s revelation Nozomi Maruyama and either veteran Yuki Ito or Sara Takanashi. But Norway won the Worlds gold, with Anna Stroem, the Olympic Normal Hill winner, plus stars Eirin Kvandal and Johann Andre Forfang and Marius Lindvik.
Those three teams figure as medal favorites, but Austria, with women’s star Lisa Eder, Jan Hoerl and three-time World Champion Stefan Kraft are certainly contenders, as is Germany, with Normal Hill gold winner Philipp Raimund and Selina Freitag leading the squad.
Will Domen and Nika join older brother Peter Prevc as Olympic champ?
= INTEL REPORT =
● Olympic Games 2028: Los Angeles ● Olympic fans probably also knew that the NFL Super Bowl took place on Sunday and the 2027 title game will be at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Taking advantage of the high profile, LA28 and the National Football League issued a new emblem with an NFL football crossing the “A” in LA28, promoting the first-time inclusion of flag football in the Olympic program.
The design brings together NFL, LA28 and International Federation of American Football (IFAF) marks in a single design.
● Athletics ● No more USATF New York Grand Prix.
Listed on the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold calendar for several months, USATF instead announced Monday that Texas A&M’s Cushing Stadium will host the “USATF Lone Star Grand Prix” on 6 June instead.
The other USATF Grand Prix meet will be held the following week at USC’s 3,000-seat Loker Stadium on 13-14 June.
