Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 13/February 16

 

Day 1 of the last full week of this edition of the Winter Olympics, and a couple of very influential story from today!!!!

In Women's Curling, the United States lost to Italy 7-2, but maintain a strong position in the standings with a few matches left.

In Ski Jumping, the Super Team event was held, with Austria winning the team event, Poland winning silver, and Norway capturing the bronze.  The Austrian team of Jan Hoerl and Stephan Einbacher taking home the gold.

In the Women's Big Air event for Freestyle Skiing, Canda took home the gold behind two fabulous runs by Megan Oldham, who was able to defeat Eileen Gu from China (silver) and Flora Tabanelli of the host country (Italy).

On the ice, the Pairs Figure Skating Free Program wrapped up the pairs, and the uber-talented team of Miora and Kihara vaulted from fifth to first to win the gold.  The Georgian tandem of Metelkina and Berulara won silver - AND A LOT OF NEW FANS - with the German team winning bronze.

On a different ice surface, Dutch skater Xandra Velzeboer won her second gold of these games by capturing the 1000-meter race, with Canadian skater Courtney Sarault winning silver and Kim Gilli of Korea winning bronze.

The women's hockey semi-finals concluded the way everybody wanted, with a Canada-US final.  Canada narrowly defeated Switzerland 2-1 and the United States defeated Sweden 5-0, behind the efforts of 5 different goal scorers!  Special note should go to Goalkeeper Aerin Frankel, as the United States has won all of its games by a collective score of 31-1, with that lone goal be surrendered in the very first match.  In doing so, she is the first goalie to have 3 shutouts in one Olympics!

On the slopes, the Men's slalom was held with Swiss star Loic Meillard winning gold to earn an entire matching set from Milano-Cortina (Gold, Silver, Bronze).  Austria's Fabio Gstrein earned silver after coming from WAY back after the first run.  Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway won bronze to add to his country's leading medal total.

But the event of the day was the conclusion of the Women's Monobob competition in Bobsledding.  As the leaders took their respective fourth runs, American Kaillie Armbruster Humphries set the standard with two sledders remaining.  That run guaranteed her a bronze medal, which is where she finished after Germany's Laura Nolte took the lead with only Elana Meyers Taylor remaining.  And Meyers Taylor did not disappoint.  Despite slowing at the bottom of the track, Meyers Taylor finished .04 seconds ahead of Notle to win her first medal (and her 6th overall).  Meyers Taylor became the fourth American with six overall Winter Olympics medals (Apolo Anton Ohno (8), Bonnie Blair (6) and Bode Miller (6)).  She also became the oldest medalist in Winter Olympics history at age 41, breaking the record set in Beijing in 2022 set by ... Elana Meyers Taylor!!!

Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 12/February 15

 

We definitely have more days past than coming up, but this has been a very interesting Olympics - with some very strong events and competition coming up, including on Sunday.  Let's get to the stories!

Curling is still in full effect, and the US teams performed admirably on Sunday, with the Men winning two matches (8-5 over Sweden and 10-8 over Norway) and the Women winning their lone matchup 6-5 over China.

The women's Ski Mumping large hill - making its Olympic debut - was conducted with Norward winning het yet another gold, this time from Anna Odine Stroem taking home the first-place medal, followed by her compatriot Elrin Maria Kvandal with Nika Prevc from Slovenia winning bronze.  This was Stroem's second gold medal in these Olympics (and third overall!).

More flying took place with the Freestyle Skiing dual moguls being contested by the men.  Canada's Mikhael Kingsbury defeated Japanese competitor Ikama Horoshima in the final.

In other X-games styled events, Great Britan took home its gold in the Mixed Team Snowboard Cross, followed by host Italy and France coming in third.

Sunday was great for the team from Great Britain, as they also won the Mixed Team Skeleton as Matt Weston won his second gold of these games.  He was paired with Tabitha Stoecker for her first gold.  Germany, as is often the case in sliding sports, was extremely competitive, with its sledders taking home silver and bronze.

Two separate biathlon events were held, and in the Women's 10K Pursuit, Italy wins another gold behind a brilliant performance by Lisa Vittozzi.  Maren Kirkeeide of Norway won her second medal of these games by earning silver (to go with the previous gold).  Suvi Minkkinen of Finland won bronze.  For the men, the 12.5 Km race was conducted, and Martin Ponsiluoma of Sweden took the gold, followed by Stula Hohn Lagreid from Norway with the silver and France's Emillien Jacquelin earning bronze.

The skis have been very good to Italy, as Federica Brignone won the Women's Giant Slalom to go along with her Super Giant Slalom gold.  She was followed across the finish line by Sweden's Sara Hector who won silver, and Thea Louise Stjernesund from Norway (below) taking bronze.

The last Round Robin match for the Men's Hockey Tournament finished with Switzerland defeating Czechia 4-3, Canada annihilating France 10-2, Denmark beating Latvia 4-2, and the US victorious over Germany 5-1.

In cross-country skiing, the Men's 4x7.5KM relay was held, and host Italy medaled by finishing third, just behind France that earned silver.  Norway, anchored by Johannes Hoesflot-Klaebo (surprise, surprise) easily won gold.  This is the 4th gold of these games for Klaebo, and he has two more events remaining.

At the Speed Skating rink, the title of world's fastest woman skater goes to Femke Kok of the Netherlands, as she won gold in the 500-meter, followed by teammate and 1000-meter champion Jutta Leerdam with Miho Takagi of Japan finishing third and taking bronze.  Kok's margin of victory was the largest since 1972!

Athlete of the Day - Femke Kok, Netherlands, Speed Skating

Wins the race she has dominated since the conclusion of Beijing!

U.S. Athlete of the Day - Austin Matthews, Hockey

Scored two goals and had 1 assist in the US 5-1 victory over Germany that secured the number 2 seed in the knockout rounds.

Upset of the Day - No major upsets today

Seriously.  Leerdam's silver medal should satiate those that only want to see pictures of her.

Team of the Day - Canada, Men's Hockey

Most people assumed Canada was the class of this tournament as they definitely have the most talent, but damn, 10-2 in the last tuneup for the knockout round?  If ANYBODY beats this team in will be an upset.

U.S. Team of the Day - Men's Curling

Daniel Caspar, Luc Violette, Ben Richardson, Aidan Oldenburg, Rich Ruohonen held it down with 2 victories on Sunday!

Olympic Term of the Day:  Monobob - In bobsled, it is a race in which 1 person drives, pushes, drives, and brakes the sled all by themselves.

Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 11/February 14

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!!  And nothing says "Valentine's" quite like the Olympics!!!

The US Men's team was victorious in Curling once again, defeating Germany 8-6, and the US Women's team continued their roll by beating Japan 7-4!  IN another interesting matchup, the Great Britain women defeating the powerful Canadian team 7-6.

In the ski jump, the men's large hill competition was conducted, with Doman Prevc from Slovenia taking the gold over Ren Nikaido of Japan and Kacpar Tomasiak of Poland with a 464-foot last jump to win gold!  This is the second gold for Prevc, whereas Nikaido has a bronze to go with this silver - both Prevc and Nikaido previously winning in the mixed team event.  The bronze for Tomasiak was his third medal in these Olympics previously having won silver in the men's team event and bronze in the normal hill.

On the skeleton track, Janine Flock won gold for Austria, with the German duo of Susanne Kreher and Jacqueline Pfeifer earning silver and bronze.

In Freestyle skiing, the Women's Dual Moguls was the opportunity for another 1-2 finish for Americans Elizabeth Lemley and Jaelin Kauf, who both topped the podium in the moguls earlier in these Olympics.  And although both finished on the podium in the Duals, Jakara Anthony from Australia took the gold, relegating Kauf to silver and Lemley to bronze.

On the Cross-Country Skiing course, Norway upset the heavy - and I mean HEAVY - favorite Swedes in the 4 x 7.5 KM Relay.  The Swedes - who had won 7 of the 9 medals already awarded in women's cross-country - took a lead on the first leg by Linn Svahn and was held by Ebba Andersson on her second leg, until her skis got caught in softer snow and she fell, she got up in about 4th place but still in a position to challenge for the lead by the end of her leg.  Until her ski broke from its binding and went flying out from under her as she fell head-first over the trail.  She had to ski on one ski to the other ski, pick it up, and try to make her way to the staff member who fell himself frantically trying to bring the new ski to Andersson.  By the time she put the new ski back on, she was in 9th place and well off the lead.  Sweden showed their prowess on the trail by catching every other squad, except the Norwegians.  Scandinavian neighbors Finland took the bronze.

On the hockey rink, the US Men's completed their undefeated round-robin section by beating Denmark 6-3 after getting off to an incredibly slow start.  Finland did no such thing and crushed Italy 11-0.  Sweden beat Slovakia 5-3 and Latvia bested Germany 4-3.  Next is the round of 16, with the Americans having a bye into the quarterfinals.

On the Women's side, Canada defeated Germany 5-1 and Switzerland outlasted Finland 1-0 in the quarterfinals, with each advancing to a semi-final matchup against each other.

A big surprise in the women's biathlon as Maren Kirkreeide of Norward beat the French duo of Oceane Michelon and Lou Jeanmonnot secured silver and bronze.  Missing from this podium was Julia Simon, who has won 2 golds already in these games.  Simon finished 34th after incurring two penalties in her last shooting session.

On the slopes, Brazilian, yes you read that correctly, Brazilian, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen won gold in the Men's Giant Slalom, beating favorite Marco Odermatt - who earned silver - and Odermatt's Swiss compatriot Loic Meillard gaining bronze.

In Short Track Speedskating, Dutch skater Jens van'T Wout won his second gold of Milano in the 1500 meters.  This gold will sit alongside his 1000-meter victory medal, as he aims for more.  Daeheon Hwang of Korea won silver, with Roberts Kruzbergs of Latvia finishing third for bronze.

But the story of the day was at the Speed Skating Track, where American Jordan Stolz won the 500 meter Speed Skating race in an Olympic record time, besting Jenning de Boo from the Netherlands (silver) and Laurent Debreuil (bronze).  Stolz has plans to race two more events to try to go for four medals, and dare we say gold?!

Athlete of the Day - Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, Brazil, Alpine Skiing

He's from Brazil, and he won gold in SKIING!

U.S. Athlete of the Day - Jordan Stolz, Speed Skating

Two golds in 2 races, with 2 more to go.

Upset of the Day - Julia Simon, France, Biathlon

Two misses in her final shoot will drop you from a possible medal to 34th.

Team of the Day - Norway, Women's Cross-Country Skiing 4 x 7.5KM Relay

They took advantage of an unlucky break to the favorites from Sweden, and never looked back!  Here's to Kristen Austgulen Fosnaes, Astrid Oeyre Slind, Karoline Simpson-Larsen, and Heidi Weng

U.S. Team of the Day - Women's Curling

A much-needed victory in the round-robin circuit to keep potential knockout rounds alive.

Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 10/February 13

 

We head into the middle weekend of the Olympics, and a couple of stars have emerged, but at the same time, some unexpected and surprising finishes!!!  That's what makes the Olympics great.

Curling is still in its round robin phase, and the US Women, in a huge upset, defeated the favored Canadians 9-8, by stealing a point in each of the last two ends!!!  This NEVER happens at this level.  Unfortunately, the good vibes didn't carry over to the men's squad, as they were defeated 6-3 by Canada.

Great Britain secured its first gold of these games in the men's skeleton, as sledder Matt Weston took home the gold after 4 slides down the track.  Germany joined Great Britain on the medal stand as Axel Jungk and Christopher Grotheer won silver and bronze respectively.   Grotheer who also won a bronze in the mixed team event, immediately announced his retirement from the sport as the 33-year old stated his body just couldn't keep up with the demands of sledding anymore.  Way to go out - with 2 Olympic medals!

Men's hockey continued with Finland defeating fellow Scandinavian rival Sweden 4-1, Czechia beating France 6-3, and Canada dominating Switzerland 5-1.  Canada remains on track for the number 1 seed in the knockout round.

Much more consequential games on the women's side, as the quarterfinals concluded with Sweden beating Czechia 2-0, and the United States overwhelming Italy 6-0.  Stars for the United States include Kendall Coyne who scored 2 goals, Hannah Bilka how finished with a +2 and scored a goal on her game high 7 shots, and Laila Edwards who led the team with a +3.  On to the semifinals for Team USA!

In Speedskating, Metodej Jilek of Czechia won gold in the men's 10,000 meters.  Joining him on the podium were Vladimir Semiranny of Poland and Jurrit Bergsma from the Netherlands, who earned silver and bronze respectively.

Australia continued a strong performance in the X-Games sports with Josie Baff winning Snowboard Cross, defeating Eva Adamczykova of Czechia and home favorite Michaela Moiioli.

On the skis, two giants of their respective sports took home gold (again!).  France's Quentin Fillot Maillet won the 10KM sprint biathlon for his second gold of these games, and 4th overall.  He was followed by the Norwegian pair of Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen and Stula Holm Laegreid.  And in the 10Km interval Cross-Country Skiing race for the men, Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo won his third gold of these games - and a record 8th overall.  He was joined on the podium by Frenchman Martin Deslages (silver) and his Norwegian compatriot Einer Hedegaut (bronze).

But, in the event of the day, the stars came out to see the final of the Men's Free Skate performance in figure skating.  The giants performing last - Japan's Shun Sato and Yuma Kagiyama and Ilia Malinin of the United States were supposed to be the coup de grace to an amazing competition among the men, with Malinin batting cleanup due to his lead after the short program.  But, virtually unheralded Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan skated an amazing performance and stood in first place as Sato went, and then as Kagiyama skated, and then, once Malinin fell a couple of times to ultimately finish 8th, Shaidorov had gold, followed by Kagiyama and Sato.

Athlete(s) of the Day - Johannes Hoesflot-Klaebo, Norway, Cross-Country Skiing/Mikhail Shaidorov, Kazakhstan, Figure Skating

Every time Klaebo wins another gold, he will be athlete of the day, but the story of the day is Shaidorov and his gold-medal worthy Free Skate!

U.S. Athlete of the Day - Kendall Coyne, Hockey

Scored two goals in just a 3:10 span that iced the victory for the United States in the quarterfinals against Italy.

Upset of the Day - Mikhail Shaidarov, Kazakhstan, Figure Skating

He not only won gold, he defeated Yuma Kagiyama, Shun Sato AND Ilia Malinin!

 

Team of the Day - United States, Women's Curling

Defeated powerhouse Canada by stealing a point in each of the last two ends to win by 1!

U.S. Team of the Day - Women's Hockey

One step closer to an expected gold medal matchup with the Canadians thanks to a dominating 6-0 drubbing of the host squad.

Olympic Term of the Day:  Snowboard Cross - In snowboarding, it is an event featuring 4 to 6 snowboarders racing down a course filled with obstacles like jumps, rollers and beams.

Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 9/February 12

 

So much action over the next few days as the events that started this week are wrapping up and the events that will take up the next week are all starting, along with other events just scheduled for this weekend!

Men's and women's curling are both in full swing, as the US Women went 1-1 on the day defeating Korea 8-4 and falling to Sweden 9-4.  The American men lost to Switzerland 8-3.

In men's hockey, the United States defeated Latvia 5-1 to keep pace with the Canadians, who defeated Czechia 5-0.  Germany beat Denmark 3-1 and Switzerland blanked France 5-0.  On the women's side, Canada beat Finland 5-0.

Staying on the rink, the women's 5000 meters speed skating final was held, with Italy's Francesca Lollobrigida winning her second gold medal of these games, closely followed by Merel Conijn of the Netherlands as these two skaters finished .1 seconds apart!!!  Ragne Wiklund of Norway won the bronze medal.  It is safe to say that Lollobrigida will forever be a national heroine!

Two finals were held in the short track speed skating, with the Netherlands taking home two golds.  In the women's 500 meters, Xandra Velzeboer took home the gold for the speed skating fanatical country, with Italy's Arianna Fontana taking home her second medal of the games (silver).  They were followed on the podium by Courtney Sarault of Canada.

The men's 1000 meters was next and the Dutch were again victorious as Jens van't Wout won gold.  Sun Long of China takes silver and Rim Jongun earned bronze.

On the sliding track, Germany took home the gold in the Team Relay, which consists of the women's singles, men's doubles, men's singles, and women's doubles in a relay format.  Austria finished second and Italy came home in third, to earn another medal for the home team!

The main action for the day took place on skis, with the women's Cross-Country 10K interval start freestyle and the women's Super Giant Slalom.  

In the former, Sweden once again dominated (as they expect to do in all of the women's cross-country events) taking home gold with Freda Karlsson and silver by Ebba Andersson.  But, they didn't dominate the podium as the greatest cross-country skier in US history - Jessie Diggins - managed to ski across in third place to win bronze!

In a much faster race - the Women's Super Giant Slalom - Italy was once again victorious, with Federica Brignone taking home gold for the hosts!!!  At age 35, Brignone is the oldest medalist in Olympic Alpine Skiing history.  Ramone Miradoli of France won silver and Austria's Cornelia Huetter earned bronze.

Athlete(s) of the Day - Federica Brignone, Italy, Alpine Skiing/Francesca Lollobrigida, Italy, Speed Skating

Another gold for the host country in the Women's Super Giant Slalom, and Brignone becomes the oldest Alpine Skier to medal ever. Lollobrigida wins her second gold medal of these games for Italy at age 35 as well!

U.S. Athlete of the Day - Jessie Diggins, Cross-Country Skiing

Another race another medal for the most decorated cross-country skier in U.S. history!

Upset of the Day - Germany 3-1 victory over Denmark in Men's Hockey

Germany defeating Denmark isn't the upset, it is the fact that this score was 3-1, which shows that Germany may not be a potential semi-finalist or medalist that they always hope to be.

 

Team of the Day - Canada, Men's Hockey

Just dominating everybody, including today's 5-0 over a good Czechian squad.

U.S. Team of the Day - Women's Curling

Although they finished the day 1-1, their 8-4 victory over Korea was as good a win as we have seen from the American women to date.

Olympic Term of the Day:  Goofy-footed - In snowboarding, it is a stance in which the athlete operates with their strongest leg in the front of the snowboard, rather than in the back.  Also applies to surfing, skateboarding and other similar.

Olympics - Milano-Cortina 2026 - Day 8/February 11

 

Welcome back to the Olympics NHL Hockey players.  The professionals return after a 12-year absence, and several medal contenders had their opening games.  Slovakia defeated Finland 4-1, and Sweden defeated Italy 5-2.

Although the hockey loss was disappointing for the hosts, they had a great day at the sliding track, as both the women's and men's double luge events were conducted.  Italy earned 2 golds, by winning both of the races behind their women's team of Andrea Vietter and Marion Oberhofer, whereas the men's team of Emmanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldren were up to the task by matching their compatriots.

Wednesday was also the return to the ice for the men's Curling teams, and the US, behind Daniel Casper, defeated Czechia 8-7.

In the most prototypical of all Winter Olympic events, the Nordic Combined, Norway's Jans Luraas Oftebro won gold, followed by Austria's Johannes Lamparter (silver) and Eero Hirvonen of Finland (bronze). 

In another quintessential Winter Olympics sport - the biathlon, Julia Simon of France followed up her team Mixed Relay gold with an individual gold in the 15KM, where she was followed by teammate Lou Jeanmonnot who earned silver.

On the ice, the ice dancers performed their 4th routine in about six days, and the competition was wonderful.  Any of the final three teams would have won gold in most Olympics, and some thought the silver medalists should have won THIS year.  But, it was the French team of Laurence Fournier-Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron who captured the gold followed by crowd favorites Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the US and Piper Gille and Paul Poirier of Canada, who won silver and bronze respectively.

The men's Super-Giant Slalom was held yesterday, and tell me if you have heard this before, Franjo von Allmon of Switzerland took home the gold - his third of these games.  American Ross Cochrane-Siegle could not match his mother's 1972 gold, but he did win silver, followed by Swiss juggernaut Marco Odermatt, his second bronze of these games.

And moving from someone who is already a star in these games (von Allmon) to somebody who his likely to be, US Speedskater Jordon Stolz set an Olympic record and won gold in the men's 1000-meter race, defeating Jenning de Boo of the Netherlands and Ning Zhongyan of China.  Is this the first of many for Stolz?

Athlete(s) of the Day - Franjo von Allmon, Switzerland, Alpine Skiing/Julia Simon, France, Biathlon

Von Allmon with his third gold, and Simon with her second, and both in convincing fashion.

U.S. Athlete of the Day - Jordan Stolz, Speed Skating

An Olympic Record performance in winning the gold.  Not much better could be done than that!

Upset of the Day - Madison Chock and Evan Bates, United States, Figure Skating

The upset isn't with their performance, but with the scoring.  To a lot of people it sure looked like the Americans won, especially since they skated a practically flawless artistic free skate AND had more technical points. 

 

Team of the Day - Slovakia, Men's Hockey

One of the five or six teams with legitimate medal hopes, Solvakia came out and dominated one of those other squads - Finland - and won 4-1.

U.S. Team of the Day - Men's Curling

Won its only match of the day over Czechia 8-7, with Daniel Casper scoring the winning point with his thirteen stone in the 10th end to secure the victory.

Olympic Term of the Day:  Nordic Combined - An event that combines cross-country skiing with ski jumping, in today's action a 10KM ski and jumps off the normal hill.
