Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych plans to defy the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and wear a helmet honoring fellow Ukrainian athletes killed in Russia's war during the 2026 Winter Games in Italy, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, law enforcement is set to release an image of a potential suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, as reported by ABC News. Additionally, a senior European intelligence official told the Associated Press that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no desire to end the invasion of Ukraine and believes he can outmaneuver the United States in talks, as detailed by ABC News.
Heraskevych stated he intends to wear the helmet during the 2026 Winter Games, despite potential repercussions from the IOC. "We are able to enjoy sport and enjoy Olympics, it's also because of their sacrifice, and I believe they deserve to be here today with me and also they deserve to be with me on competition day," he told journalists, according to CBS News. The IOC has barred him from doing so.
The search for Nancy Guthrie continues after her abduction on February 1 from her Arizona home. ABC News confirmed that law enforcement will release an image of a potential suspect. A ransom deadline passed without resolution, and Savannah Guthrie has pleaded with the public for assistance.
In the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the head of Estonia's foreign intelligence service, Kaupo Rosin, said Moscow is playing for time in talks with Washington, according to ABC News. He added that there is "absolutely no discussion about how to really cooperate with the U.S. in a meaningful way."
The 2026 Winter Olympics, held in Italy, saw U.S. athletes earning medals on February 10, 2026, as reported by Fox News. Jacqueline Wiles and Paula Moltzan won bronze in the alpine skiing women's team combined race. Alex Hall secured a silver medal in men's freestyle skiing slopestyle, and Ben Ogden also won silver in the cross-country skiing men's sprint classic.
In other news, a feud has erupted between Texas Democrats. Former Rep. Colin Allred claimed that state Rep. James Talarico told him he would be a superior Senate candidate "because he doesn't have a family," according to Fox News. Allred made the claim on the "At Our Table" podcast.
