HE'S HIM, AND HE KNOWS IT! Max Langenhan sets a new track record every run and wins gold in the men's luge.

That celebration was cold as hell. I'd expect nothing less from someone with red visor aura. #MilanoCortina2026

Luge is one of the sports I know I'd be hospitalized if I ever gave it a try. #MilanoCortina2026

IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN! Another Olympic record has fallen on the speed skating oval. World record holder Sander Eitrem has taken the Olympic record in the men's 5,000 meters. The event has yet to finish, but the gold seems certain. #MilanoCortina2026

Going back-to-back at the Olympics must be one helluva drug. Benjamin Karl took off his jacket and shirt then laid belly-first in the snow after winning gold in the snowboarding men's parallel giant slalom. #MilanoCortina2026

lol, Ivana Wey is a loose cannon. Gets a 2-minute minor for boarding, Switzerland survives. She leaves the penalty box and immediately gets another boarding call.

The second time around, Canada scores immediately.

Holy Shit! What a run from Kira Kimura to win the gold medal for Japan in the snowboarding men's big air. #MilanoCortina2026
February 7, 2026 at 7:48 PM
I appreciate the ambition, but this dude ate shit. #MilanoCortina2026

Oh, man. This drone is playing with fire at the Big Air ramp. I wouldn't want to be the drone operator who clips a snowboarder. #MilanoCortina2026

Oh, somebody fucked up! The Olympic Broadcasting Services map put Milan in Turin's location, lmao. Did they just copy/paste the spot from the 2006 Games? #MilanoCortina2026

You really couldn't write this. Lollobrigida wins Italy's first gold medal at their home Winter Olympic Games on her birthday, no less.

It's also his first gold after participating in four Games. The new Olympic 3000m record-holder finished 23rd in her 2014 Sochi debut. #MilanoCortina2026

NEW OLYMPIC RECORD! Francesca Lollobrigida with a stunning run in the women's speed skating 3000m. One pairing left to determine if she'll secure Italy's first gold medal at their home Winter Olympics. #MilanoCortina2026
February 7, 2026 at 4:17 PM
Franjo von Allmen cooked! The first gold of these Winter Olympics goes to Switzerland in the men's downhill. Italians pick up silver and bronze. #MilanoCortina2026

LET'S GOOO!!!!! HERE WE!!! 🇯🇲 🥳

I love this four-parade format, especially with the smaller delegations, lmao. There are sign-holders walking out with no one behind them.

It's gorgeous out. I swear that overnight fog feels like it was a bad dream. Probably didn't help that I fell asleep at my desk.
January 25, 2026 at 3:49 PM
There are fans sleeping in the fanzone!

You'd swear that the fanzone behind pit lane is deserted, but no. The piles of fabric and other materials on the ground are people bundled up for the night at the Rolex 24.
January 25, 2026 at 9:32 AM
Seems like I was right to nope out of the media center and nap in the car. The Rolex 24 is still under yellow.
January 25, 2026 at 7:59 AM
Friends, is this good? This is the view of the main grandstand from the International Horseshoe right now.

Visibility is fading fast as more and more fog rolls in.
January 25, 2026 at 5:06 AM
I have to say that Daytona has some immaculate grass. Also, the tri-oval banking is way steeper than it looks on TV. And yes, this place is absolutely packed for the Rolex 24!
January 24, 2026 at 7:22 PM
I'm finally in the presence of Grello.
January 24, 2026 at 3:03 PM
Uhh... It's a bit foggy at Daytona this morning. I still can't wait for the race.
January 24, 2026 at 2:39 PM
You don't know how much I needed this.🥹
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 AM
Honestly, mood.
January 10, 2026 at 4:47 AM
Every time you think it couldn't get any worse for the Oregon Ducks, the Hoosiers put another cleat on their necks.
January 10, 2026 at 3:35 AM
Damn, Dante Moore is getting slaughtered out there. The Hoosier pass rush is looking unstoppable tonight.
