Shiffrin, Vonn, and Guthrie: Olympics, Injury, and Search

Mikaela Shiffrin is set to make her Olympic debut in the women's Alpine team combined event on Tuesday in Cortina, Italy, while a group of Buddhist monks is expected to complete their "Walk for Peace" in Washington, D.C., after a trek from Texas that has captivated the nation. Meanwhile, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, entered its second week, and U.S. ski star Lindsey Vonn revealed she suffered a "complex tibia fracture" in her Olympic downhill crash.

Shiffrin, a slalom star, is slated to compete in the team combined event, which pairs a downhill skier with a slalom skier. The American team, featuring Breezy Johnson and Shiffrin, won gold at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships last year. The U.S. is fielding four teams in the event's Olympic debut, according to NPR News.

Vonn, 41, crashed during the Olympic downhill race on Sunday and was airlifted from the course. She shared the news of her injury on Instagram, stating she suffered a "complex tibia fracture," according to NPR News.

The group of Buddhist monks, who have become fixtures on social media, are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., on foot Tuesday, concluding their journey from Texas. The monks, led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, have been walking to promote peace, compassion, and nonviolence. Their rescue dog, Aloka, has also been accompanying them, as reported by NPR News.

The search for Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen by her family on January 31, entered its second week. A sign of support from Guthrie's neighbors stands near her driveway in the Tucson, Ariz., area, according to NPR News.

In other news, Josh Miele, a blind scientist and inventor of adaptive technology, was profiled by Nature News. Miele, a 2021 MacArthur Foundation genius fellow, has dedicated his career to making life more user-friendly for the disability community. In the 1990s, he was seen climbing street signs to feel the embossed letters to work out which street he was on when traveling in unfamiliar areas.
