Slow day for medals, but the competition is fast and fierce on Day 5.

We start off today with Ryan Cochran-Siegle of Starksboro, VT bouncing back after a disappointing finish in the Alpine Skiing Downhill with him defending his silver medal from 2022 in the Super-G.

It is Day 1 of the Winter Olympics 2026. The games will feel like that have truly begun after today.

For the first time, in a long time, the world will feel like is truly Winter Olympics is back. The last Winter Olympics in 2022 in Beijing, China was a disaster thanks to COVID-19 ravaging the planet and as a result, fans were banned from attending the games. Taking place in northern Italy, (the official name is “Milan-Cortina 2026” - however, other towns in Italy are hosting events in these Olympics) this is the first Winter Olympics since 2018 that fans will be able to attend the games and the first Winter Olympics hosted in Italy since the Torino 2006 games.
