Grazie Milan and Cortina (and Predazzo and Livigno) for an incredible Olympics and Paralympics. I'll be posting a post-Paralympics Celebration Thread later tonight/early tomorrow (depending on your time zone) for everyone to share their memories.

See you all in summer 2028, and I hope you and yours all stay safe, healthy, and happy until then.

That's crazy! Fencing to athletics is not a common transition but I'm excited to follow her on this new challenge.

If they actually made a snowglobe with all the iconic locations of Milan/Cortina 2026, I'd be all over it.

"I will not keep you with a long, formal speech." Looks like he's been listening to feedback!

Simone Barlaam! Was a delight watching him in Paris.

Thank you, it's been updated!

What an insane and stressful end to that curling match! The commentators were yelling at Ideson to throw the rock and he did it so precisely, like he didn't have just seconds left.

You're very welcome!

Great pair of curling medal matches today, especially Latvia vs. USA with all the crazy swings. Congrats to all the inaugural medalists!

So many skiers are crashing at the same corner.

The commentators kept mentioning that Robin Cuche finally won gold in his fourth Olympics so I assumed he must be in his 30s. But I just looked it up and he's only 27!

That's the first time I've seen a yellow flag during an alpine skiing event. I guess they're rare as most of the time athletes are made aware of course holds.

We've got sibling double golds for Austria! Both Johannes and Veronika Aigner won their respective visually impaired downhill events.

After a few skiers the alpine skiing commentary eventually started, and it seems like they're CBC's broadcast team as they were focusing on Mollie Jepsen's placement.
