Swiss skier Franjo von Allmen won the first gold medal of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games on Saturday in the men's downhill race, while U.S. speedskater Greta Myers made a surprise Olympic debut in the 3000 meters. Meanwhile, authorities are investigating a new message regarding the missing Nancy Guthrie, and the "Melania" documentary has seen a surprising surge in audience ratings. The "Duck Dynasty" crew also recounted near-death experiences during a recent winter storm.
Von Allmen completed the challenging downhill course in Bormio, Italy, in 1 minute, 51.61 seconds, securing the gold medal. According to CBS News, his time bested Italy's Giovanni Franzoni, who took silver, and Dominik Paris, who earned bronze. The highest-ranked American in the men's downhill, Kyle Negomir, finished 10th.
In speed skating, Myers unexpectedly competed in the 3000 meters after Czechia's Martina Sablikova withdrew, calling it the "hardest sporting decision of her life." Sablikova, a 2010 gold medalist, expressed feeling "helpless" and "disappointed," as reported by CBS News. Myers had been slated to compete in the 1500m, but her times were fast enough to secure a spot.
Authorities are also actively inspecting a new message concerning the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. ABC News reported that the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department are involved in the investigation, which began after Guthrie went missing last weekend from her Arizona home.
The documentary "Melania" has seen a surge in audience ratings, with a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, despite claims of artificially inflated scores. Fox News reported that the film, which follows Melania Trump in the days leading up to President Donald Trump's second inauguration, has a significant gap between critic and audience scores.
The "Duck Dynasty" crew faced multiple near-death experiences during a recent winter storm, which Jase Robertson dubbed the "ice-pocalypse." Robertson described dangerous conditions that pushed both their equipment and bodies to the breaking point, according to Fox News.
