I like how competitions started two days before the opening ceremony.

6am start time for alcohol serving here.

How she is doing that with a torn ACL.

Some boos. Not crowd deafening boos like at a footy game or Roman gladitorial match.

 

[Fwiffo]

Italy 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze. Japan and Norway the same.

I actually don’t really care whether we get the top medal count or top number of golds. As long as we or any country beat the Americans.

“The American delegation in Milan was initially greeted – mostly – with applause from the Italian crowd, which featured a large contingent of American spectators. But the arena descended into boos once U.S. Vice-President JD Vance, who was in attendance, appeared on the Jumbotron. The Israeli delegation was also briefly booed.”

America and Israel. Side by side on everything that matters the most.

Lindsey Vonn crashes out.

For an Aussie winter Olympian, when do they enjoy summer? I presume most of their competitions are in the northern hemisphere during winter (or their summer).

U.S. crushes Canada 5-0 in women's hockey​

Americans notch 1st-ever Olympic win over Canadian women's curling team​

This short track speed skating is pretty interesting.

I was looking at this cross country men's relay. Everyone seems to be in these super tight, I presume aerodynamic, kits with a hat and sunglasses to deflect the sunlight. Slight variation in colours for yor country. Except the American guy who seems to forego the winter cap and just wear the sun glasses with spikey hair exposed.

Then I found out she is fiancee to the YouTube boxer.

I hope our women's hockey avenge their group loss.

The talisman Sidney Crosby is out. Didn't know that from the scoreline.

 

[Fwiffo]

Women's hockey win. Alyssa Liu win. Y'all Americans must be happy.

Not sure about the controversy over Eileen Gu. For one thing she is mixed.

 

[Fwiffo]

I watched the men's hockey and they tied and then scored the winning goal. I reckon I should watch the gold medal game.

Love the Toronto guy at ski cross saying there's so much snow clouding your visibility and the track is slow that the whole set up is a joke in Italy. He came in last.

 

[Fwiffo]

Our talisman, Sidney Crosby, can't take to the ice. We can't win the war on tariffs but we'll give the yanks a loyalist beatdown they will remember for generations.

The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics have officially ended following the closing ceremony in northern Italy.

It took place at Verona Olympic Arena, despite none of the sporting events happening in the city, which is 75 miles from Milan.


.. Like spreading money around during a Jubilee year held in Rome.
