Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry began their figure skating partnership in March 2025. Less than a year later, they’ve won gold together in free dance 🥇🇫🇷

Proof it’s never too late. Even at the Olympic level!

Sturla Holm is still making headlines mid week. The Norwegian Biathlete admitted earlier this week that he had cheated on his girlfriend prior to the Milan events. Her response that it's "hard to forgive" seems to be all the chatter this morning. Another story to watch into the weekend! #Milano

The first goal of the men’s hockey tournament is scored by…Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovsky 🇸🇰

What an Olympic showing from Bulgaria 🇧🇬

Sneak Preview at a quote from the article that will also be featured in the podcast!

"I think having a Super Bowl not only allows a network the opportunity to make a pretty good substantial amount of money in terms of the commercials, but it also allows you, within the broadcast, to self-promote."

Still early in the #Olympics, but Norway is setting the pace with 6 gold medals 🥇 Switzerland sits in second with 3 as the medal race starts to take shape. Plenty more competition still to come. #Olympics

Rivalry time 🇺🇸🇨🇦 The USA is facing Canada in women's hockey today at 2:10 PM EST. One of the top rivalries in hockey, it never disappoints. Quick, physical, and intense. Worth watching. #WomensHockey #Olympics
