The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo are in full swing, with dramatic developments unfolding across various sports. Italian biathlete Rebecca Passler faces her first training session on Monday after the lifting of her ban for a positive doping finding, allowing her to compete at the Games once again.
In curling, the Swedish women's team is maintaining a perfect record. They remain the only team to hold a flawless record after the tournament's fifth round of matches. By contrast, the Czech curlers are still waiting for their first win and take to the ice on Monday evening following five defeats.
A notable comeback on the Olympic stage comes from thirty-year-old Italian skier Brignone, who claimed gold in the giant slalom. She was absent for most of the season, and for a long time it was uncertain whether she would even compete at the home Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
In the hockey group stage, the biggest stars of the NHL are confirming their quality. According to the statistics, Connor McDavid holds a commanding lead in scoring, while Slovak national team players Juraj Slafkovský and Tomáš Gernát rank among the world elite in individual categories.
Even the smaller details reflect the distinctive character of these Games. The skeleton team is bringing helmets to Cortina decorated with personal statements, whether in the form of political messages, humor, or minimalist design. Each participant thus brings a piece of their personality to the Olympic proceedings.
