USA Hockey & Atletico Madrid Shine; Olympic Medal Count Revealed

The United States is off to a strong start at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, with the men's ice hockey team defeating Latvia 5-1 in their opening game, according to Fox News. The U.S. is fielding its largest Winter Olympics team ever, with 232 athletes competing for gold, as reported by CBS News. The Games, which began on Thursday, have already seen success for the U.S., with Breezy Johnson claiming the first gold medal in women's downhill and U.S. figure skaters winning gold in the team competition, according to CBS News.

Brock Nelson, the oldest player on the U.S. ice hockey team at 34 years old, led the team in scoring with two goals, as noted by Fox News. Nelson's first goal broke a 1-1 tie in the second period. Protests also occurred in Milan, with clashes between protesters and police, according to Fox News.

The U.S. is looking to build on its success from the 2024 Summer Olympics, where they brought home the most medals of any country, as stated by CBS News. However, Norway topped the medal count at the last Winter Games and holds the all-time record for winter medals, according to CBS News.

In other news, Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby urged Europe to take primary responsibility for its defense, calling for NATO partnerships rather than dependencies, as reported by Al Jazeera. Colby made these remarks during a meeting with NATO's defense ministers in Brussels on Thursday, according to Al Jazeera. He emphasized the need for "clear-eyed realism and fundamental adaptation" within the alliance, according to Al Jazeera.

Additionally, Atletico Madrid secured a 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal, leaving Barcelona with a difficult task in the return match, as reported by Al Jazeera.

Meanwhile, the upcoming T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan is set against a backdrop of decades-old hostile relations, including a recent four-day cross-border conflict in May 2025, according to Al Jazeera. The match's significance extends beyond the on-field action, given the political climate between the two nations, as stated by Al Jazeera.
