The 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics kicked off Wednesday, as eight countries took the ice for mixed doubles curling. Team USA's debut, however, would have to wait until Thursday, when it took on Norway, which won the silver medal in mixed doubles at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

A notable name in the NHL is receiving one of the greatest honors in all of sports. On Thursday, the Swiss Olympic Committee revealed its flagbearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
