Olympics: Italy's Sustainability Tested; Russian Skaters Compete

The upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy, slated to begin this month, face scrutiny regarding their sustainability, while a film secretly made in Iran has won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, and the White House has declined to rule out the deployment of ICE agents to polling locations during the upcoming midterm elections. Additionally, the absence of a Russian team in figure skating events highlights the ongoing impact of the war in Ukraine on international sports.

The Winter Olympics, set to be hosted in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy, were intended to be sustainable, according to NPR. In the town square, a sculpture of an elegant lady holding a Dior handbag and skis stands as a symbol of the area's long history of catering to the wealthy.

Meanwhile, a feature film shot covertly in Iran received a jury award for ensemble cast at this year's Sundance Film Festival, as reported by NPR. The film was smuggled out of the country.

In the political arena, the White House has not ruled out the possibility of sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to polling locations during the upcoming midterm elections. When asked if she could guarantee that immigration agents would not be present near voting locations, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, "I can't guarantee an ICE agent," according to Time. This follows a suggestion by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast that the Trump Administration should deploy ICE agents to polling places.

The impact of the war in Ukraine continues to be felt in the sporting world. Russia will not be represented in the figure skating events at the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) condemned Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, declaring that the war violated the Olympic Truce and the Olympic Charter, according to Time.
