Olympics Omit, Goepper Gears Up, and US & Iran Talk Nukes

U.S. and Iran to Negotiate Over Nuclear Program

Later this week, the United States and Iran are scheduled to meet in Turkey to discuss Iran's nuclear program, according to NPR Politics. The negotiations follow a period of heightened tensions, including a point when President Trump considered military action against Iran.

The upcoming meeting was confirmed by multiple sources, including NPR Politics. Suzanne Maloney, vice president and director of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution, spoke with NPR about the context and potential outcomes of the negotiations.

The talks take place against a backdrop of shifting global dynamics. According to Fortune, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the post-Cold War rules-based international order is no longer holding. He stated that countries must address the world as it is, not as they wish it to be. This sentiment extends to corporate strategies, which Fortune notes are now exposed to risks they no longer control due to geopolitical shifts.

While international diplomacy unfolds, other events are capturing attention. The 2026 Winter Olympics are approaching, and Wired reports on sports that will not be included in the games, such as bandy, ski ballet, equestrian skijoring, sled dog racing, and military patrol. Bandy, a mix of field hockey and soccer, was a demonstration sport at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo.

In other sports news, freestyle skier Nick Goepper is preparing for the Olympic halfpipe. After experiencing burnout and mental health challenges, Goepper returned to competition, winning gold at the 2025 X Games and silver at the 2025 FIS Freestyle Ski World Championships, according to Wired. "When you get into your early thirties, you get better at turning it on and off," Goepper told WIRED, highlighting his improved ability to manage the pressures of competition. He is also now one of Team USA's biggest advocates for mental health.
