The upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina are generating excitement, with athletes like cross-country skier Jessie Diggins preparing for their final Games, while authorities investigate the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The sports economy is also booming, projected to reach $8.8 trillion by 2050, according to a report drawing from multiple news sources.
Diggins, America's most-decorated cross-country skier, is aiming for individual Olympic gold, a feat the United States has never achieved in her sport. She expressed her motivation to share her final Olympic experience with friends, family, and fans, a support system that was absent during the Beijing games due to COVID restrictions. "That's why I'm here, training my brains out," Diggins, 34, told TIME during a conversation from Park City, Utah, in October.
Meanwhile, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has captured public attention, with authorities investigating a new message related to the case. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department are offering a reward, according to a multi-source report. The situation has created a heavy feeling, as co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has been noticeably absent from the Today show while dealing with the matter, according to Vox.
The sports economy's projected growth, highlighted in a Time report, emphasizes the need for healthy people, stable environments, and resilient communities to sustain this expansion. The report also notes the strain on these factors due to rising physical inactivity and climate risks.
In other news, US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has emerged as a prominent figure, gaining national recognition in just two terms in the House of Representatives. According to Vox, she is known for her sharp attacks.
