2026 Winter Olympics Top Stories – Sophie P

With the Winter Olympics having finished recently, and the next action being in the French Alps in 2023, here is my run down of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics…

  • Team GB won 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal, equalling their best ever hauls (2014/18).
  • Lindsey Vonn, (an American downhill ski racer) suffered severe fractures in her left leg, after hitting a flag. She has recently announced she risked amputation… is this related to her previously torn ACL?
  • The Canadian Curling team’s ‘double-touch’ drama in their round against the Swedes… was it cheating?
  • Eileen Gu has earned the title of ‘most decorated female freestyle skier’ with 6 Olympic medals to date (3 gold, 3 silver).
  • Trump has been criticised for his ‘sexist’ comments to the Men’s US Ice Hockey Team, regarding the Women’s win.
  • A rather bizarre rumour about how (and where…) doping occurs in ski-jumping, in order to make the suits bigger.
  • Alysa Liu, the winner of Gold, in Women’s Singles Figure-skating, made a huge comeback after her early retirement at the age of 16.
  • There was a horror crash for the Austrian bob-sleighers, ending up upside down at 117km/h.
  • Of course, the Norwegian medalist, who confessed to cheating on his girlfriend on live TV. Unfortunately, this did not result in forgiveness.

Look out for the next Olympics in LA in 2028!!
