Olympics: From Chaos to Triumphs, a World Unfolds

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy, are generating excitement as athletes arrive and settle into Olympic villages spread across the four competition clusters, according to multiple news sources. The Games will feature traditional opening ceremony protocols, including the parade of delegations, and will also introduce ski mountaineering as a new sport.

The opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics is fast approaching, featuring cherished traditions such as the parade of delegations, according to Time. The ceremony typically begins with the Head of State of the host country and the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) entering the venue. 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. The parade of delegations will be led by Greece and conclude with Italy, according to Time.

The 2026 Winter Olympics will mark the first time in over three decades that an entirely new sport has been added to the Games, according to NPR Politics. Ski mountaineering will make its debut.

While Italy prepares for the Games, the global environment remains complex. Multiple news sources reveal controversies surrounding tech, international relations, and immigration, as evidenced by disapproval of ICE and Trump's policies and Harry Dunn's congressional campaign, according to Time.

Meanwhile, in other news, Laura Poitras, the Oscar-winning director of "Citizenfour," will be the Special Guest at the opening of the 24th edition of VdRIndustry, a documentary festival program, according to Variety. She will participate in an on-stage conversation and screen her latest film, "Cover-Up," a portrait of journalist Seymour Hersh. Visions du Réel's head of industry praised Poitras's politically engaged artistry and her ability to shape understanding of complex topics.
