We are! And we get a first Winter Olympic medal for Georgia to boot. #MilanCortina2026

Probably from Cudahy.

And Haji Wright drops a hat-trick today. #USMNT

Congrats to Benjamin Karl for holding the oldest individual Winter Olympic gold medalist record for just over a week. #MilanCortina2026

Elana Meyers Taylor holding up the American flag after winning her first gold medal. she's overcome with joy

Meyers Taylor said her children's disabilities — both of her sons are deaf and Nico has Down syndrome — have created some "unique challenges" on the road. Nico experiences sensory overload at times and becomes overwhelmed, she said. The boys don't particularly sleep well on planes and then there's keeping up with their specialized treatments and medical equipment while on tour."

"I thought it would get much easier as they got older and it has not," Meyers Taylor, 41, said at the USOPC media summit in October. "Bigger children, bigger problems. Now that they're both walking, they're both up. They don't want to sit on planes, they don't want to stay still. They don't want to sit for meals or anything like that. So it is absolute chaos."

Elana Meyers Taylor.
Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22)
In 2020 & 2022, she has kids. Both have special needs. She lives on the road with them, flying around the world for months at a time to compete in bobsled.
And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold.
American hero.

Laszlo Cseh mentioned! #MilanCortina2026

It’s worth pointing out that this was Eliana’s worst season possibly ever. Not only did she not podium, she was rarely in the hunt due to a back issue that started earlier in the season.

The couple weeks off before the Games gave her time to get healthy, and this is the end result: Monobob gold

"Laura, please go get dressed" being overheard in the aftermath of the celebrations had me wondering if Nolte had stripped down in celebration or something. 😆 #MilanCortina2026

Elana Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Armbruster Humphries are Olympic medalists once again.

The queens of bobsled finished first and third in the women's monobob event Monday, Feb. 16 at the Cortina Sliding Center.

Dutch guy, looking at a divot on a golf course: "To us, this is a normal hill"

Hirscher tried to add to this with his brief comeback under the Dutch flag lastly year, but alas...

Also, Luxembourg being the Benelux nation with the most skiing medals makes me laugh.

Elana Meyers Taylor celebrates with a flag.

Her sixth Olympic medal, first gold.

I have seen a lot of fake economic impact numbers from people in power trying to justify various sports projects

claiming that joining the MAC will generate $975 million might be the fakest economic impact number I have ever seen

The gold medal run from USA's Elana Meyers Taylor in Monobob

Uh-oh, are we going fifth to first in another figure skating event? #MilanCortina2026

Also, EMT is a year and six days, and Humphries is a month and half older than me, so huge day for us old heads out here. #MilanCortina2026

"Laura, please go get dressed" being overheard in the aftermath of the celebrations had me wondering if Nolte had stripped down in celebration or something. 😆 #MilanCortina2026

As Leigh Diffey said, the results hadn't been there for Elana Meyers Taylor all season and she was like 19th in the test event in Cortina.

As I said, can't predict #Olympics. (Except in men's bobsled)

#MilanCortina2026

Reminds me a bit of Bode Miller winning the combined in Vancouver...an all-time great finally getting their Olympic glory in maybe the least expected spot. #MilanCortina2026

I remember a query to @thekenchilds.com about the best evers in the sliding sports and I remember stating that without Olympic gold it'd be hard to put Elana Meyers Taylor on the top of a female driver list.

Well, can't say that anymore. #MilanCortina2026

ELANA MEYERS TAYLOR FINALLY WINS GOLD YOU GUYS!!! She finally does it, tying Bonnie Blair to be the most decorated winter Olympian in USA history!!!

Nolte will win silver, with Armbruster Humphries bronze

Lisa Buckwitz, Melanie Hasler, and Melissa Lotholz top 6

Spike.

the weather forecast this week

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen grew up idolizing Ronaldinho. Now he's Brazil's, and the whole of South America's, first Winter Olympic champion 🇧🇷

Anyone 23 or younger in Brazil has seen the country win a Winter Olympic gold but never the World Cup. And the men haven't reached a podium in their lifetime 😳

His version of Cranky Gangster Jim Calhoun's "not a dime back" rant?

yep, men's bobsled is pretty black and white. and by "white," I mean "gold (and red)."

Swiss men. Four golds in alpine skiing.

Marco Odermatt zero of them.

Can't predict #Olympics, man. (Except in men's bobsled)
