2026 Games: Italy Preps, Super Bowl Looms, Trump Sparks Olympic-Sized Chaos!

The XXV Winter Olympic Games are set to begin on Friday, February 6, 2026, in sites across Lombardy and Northeast Italy, and will continue until February 22, 2026, according to Vox. The opening ceremony will commence the games, which will feature a range of competitions from traditional events like ice hockey to newer additions like ski mountaineering.

The opening ceremony typically begins with the Head of State of the host country and the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) entering the venue, according to Time. The national anthem of the host country is played or sung live while the country’s flag is raised. The ceremony also includes the dramatic reveal of the Olympic rings, followed by the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, StrongerTogether. After that comes the parade of delegations, which is when the athletes competing in the Games march into the venue under their nations flag.

In other news, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are scheduled to compete in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, according to Time. This is a rematch of the 2015 game, where the Patriots won 28-24 after an interception of then-Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on the one-yard line. Both teams now have new quarterbacks, with the Patriots led by 23-year-old Drake Maye and the Seahawks by 28-year-old Sam Darnold. According to CBS Research, this Super Bowl marks the first time both teams' starting quarterbacks and head coaches—the Patriots' Mike Vrabel and the Seahawks' Mike Macdonald—are in either their first or second season with their respective teams.

Meanwhile, Amber Glenn is repeating as U.S. national champion for the third consecutive time, a feat not accomplished since Michelle Kwan in 2000, according to Time. Glenn has openly discussed her journey, including overcoming anxiety and self-doubt to reach the top ranks of skating.

In other developments, drawing from multiple news sources, the global landscape is marked by controversies ranging from tech company issues and international tensions to shifting immigration policies, highlighted by a poll showing growing disapproval of ICE and Trump's policies, according to Vox. Amidst these developments, former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn is launching a congressional campaign focused on dismantling Trump's immigration policies, while concerns emerge over AI-driven job displacement and health risks linked to social media trends.

Vox also noted that mindset is a crucial factor for elite Olympic athletes. Kai Laird, who leads a sport and performance psychology, stated that Olympic athletes "think differently" and that mindset is a huge part of what makes elite contenders elite.
