Episode 1
Kara Brodgesell for Elm Place
Every four years, for a couple special weeks, the world's best winter sport athletes gather to slide and glide and speed and shred! They whiz down mountains and swirl through the air and we are amazed by it all.
So join us in celebrating the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games! We're so excited to talk about the types of snow and ice sports (including this year's introduction of ski mountaineering!), when the Olympic Games take place, the difference between teams, pairs, and individual sports, medals, Olympic traditions, and more!
We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.
