Chloe Kim, the celebrated snowboarder, is aiming for a historic third Olympic gold medal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, despite competing with a torn labrum, according to NPR News. The games, which began on February 10th, 2026, also saw a Norwegian biathlete, Sturla Holm Lægreid, admit to cheating on his girlfriend after winning a bronze medal, as reported by Variety. Meanwhile, the anchor of the "Today" show, Savannah Guthrie, is absent from the air, dealing with the disappearance of her mother in Arizona, as detailed by Variety.
Kim, who won gold at the 2018 PyeongChang Games at just 17, and again in Beijing, is now 25 and aiming to achieve a "three-peat," NPR News reported. The games are taking place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
The Olympics have also been marked by personal struggles. Lægreid, in an emotional post-win interview, admitted to cheating on his girlfriend, stating, "I wish I could share this with her," according to Variety. The incident highlights the emotional toll of the games, even amidst athletic success.
Adding to the drama, "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie is currently in Arizona, dealing with the abduction of her mother, Nancy, as reported by Variety. The situation has forced the show to become its own lead story, with Guthrie absent from the coverage.
In other Olympic news, Mikaela Shiffrin's setback allowed a teammate to win a medal, according to Time. Additionally, Vox reported on the progress being made toward a universal flu vaccine.
