Winter Games Fact #289: The oldest Alpine Skiing medalist in Olympic history is France’s Johan Clarey, at age 41 years and 30 days in 2022. It was on my mind today, for some reason….. www.espn.com/olympics/ski...

Winter Games Fact #288: Greece has never won a winter Olympic medal before, but there's a chance that could change in 2026. Skier AJ Ginnis won Greece's first world championship medal with a silver in slalom in 2023. He's been injured recently, but can he possibly claim a medal in the Olympics?

Winter Games Fact #287: Swiss skier Wendy Holdener has a chance of becoming the most decorated female alpine skier in Olympic history in 2026. She has 5 (6 is the record), and her events include slalom (she medaled in 2014 & 2018) and team combined (she won silver at the 2025 world championships).

Winter Games Fact #286: The most decorated curler in Olympic history could add to his haul in 2026. Sweden‘s Oskar Eriksson has 4 medals over the past 3 Olympics and could add to his record in Cortina. (In fact, the only curlers with 3+ medals are all Swedish)

Winter Games Fact #285: Russia’s hockey teams are not permitted to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics, and both were replaced in the lineup with France. The French women’s team, in fact, is making their first Winter Olympic appearance- the only team in either draw to do so.

Winter Games Fact #284: The 2026 Olympics could be the first time that we see a snowboarder win three consecutive gold medals in their sport. Who? That's the fun part! American Chloe Kim (Halfpipe), Austrian Anna Gasser (Big Air), and Czech Ester Ledecká (Parallel Giant Slalom) all could do it!

Winter Games Fact #283: How dominant was Eileen Gu at the 2022 Winter Olympics? She became the first freestyle skier to win two gold medals in the same games (Big Air and Halfpipe), as well as the first to win three medals in the same games with a silver in slopestyle. At the age of 18. Unreal!

Winter Games Fact #282: Prior to the 2022 Olympics, there was only 1 freestyle skier (Kari Traa) with 3 career Olympic medals. There are now 7, thanks to a combination of longevity (4 skiers medaled in 2014-2018-2022) , a new mixed team event in Aerials, and the sheer dominance of China's Eileen Gu.

Winter Games Fact #281: The long distance races in cross-country skiing are one of the centerpieces of the last weekend of the Winter Olympics. In 2022, thanks to the weather, the women's race (30km, as intended) was actually longer than the men's race (50km was shortened to 28km) for the first time

Winter Games Fact #280: At the 2022 Winter Olympics, there were 10 events in the sliding sports (Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton). Germany won gold in 9 of them. The only thing that prevented their near sweep was Women's Monobob, where American Kaillie Humphries won gold and the Germans didn't medal.

Desert Bus wouldn’t exist without Child’s Play Charity. The bus started 19 years ago with the goal to raise money for the children, and @childsplaycharity.bsky.social has partnered with us for nearly as long (after they realized we weren't that weird....)

Winter Games Fact #279: The Czech Republic and Slovakia both won 1 gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics. While it's not much, 2 winter gold medals is actually as many as Czechoslovakia won from 1924-1992 COMBINED...a rare case of both countries performing better despite the separation.

Winter Games Fact #278: American snowboarder Lindsay Jacobellis won her second snowboarding medal 16 years after her first. Jacobellis nearly won the first-ever gold in Snowboardcross in 2006, but fell while doing a trick and took silver. 16 years later, redemption finally occurred w/ a gold medal.

Winter Games Fact #276: On to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, which were held just 6 months after the 2020 Summer Olympics due to the COVID pandemic. Six month gap in Olympics used to be normal, but this was the first time winter games were six months AFTER instead of before the summer games.

Winter Games Fact #275: Ester Ledecka won gold in two sports in the 2018 Winter Olympics, but did you know she wasn't even the only woman to win medals in two sports that year? Dutch speed skater Jorien Ter Mors won gold in long track speed skating (1000m) and bronze (3000 m relay) in short track.
