Brazilian skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made history Saturday by winning gold in the Olympic giant slalom, securing South America's first-ever medal at a Winter Games. Meanwhile, law enforcement activity intensified in Tucson, Arizona, in the search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, and the Olympic curling committee issued a warning after a heated match between Sweden and Canada was marred by cheating allegations and expletives.
Pinheiro Braathen, 25, navigated the technical Stelvio course in a combined time of 2 minutes, 25 seconds, beating Swiss racer Marco Odermatt, the defending Olympic champion. The victory was met with jubilation as he fell to the snow and screamed after seeing his place at No. 1. The event took place at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on February 14, 2026.
In Tucson, investigators were actively pursuing a lead in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Law enforcement activity was underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd and N First Ave, about two miles from Guthrie's home, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. The FBI is involved in the joint investigation, and no additional information was available, as stated in a brief statement from the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Guthrie was reportedly kidnapped from her home on February 1. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask tampering with a security camera in front of her home.
In the world of curling, the Olympic curling committee issued a verbal warning to Canadian officials after a match between Canada and Sweden was filled with accusations and expletives. Canadian player Marc Kennedy was accused by Swedish rival Oskar Eriksson of "double touching" during Canada's 8-6 win. Kennedy denied the allegations, repeatedly using expletives, leading to a brief standstill in the match. The World Curling Committee confirmed they spoke with the Canadian officials regarding the language used.
Separately, a trio of House Democrats demanded the Department of Justice "immediately cease" tracking lawmakers' review of the unredacted files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Representatives Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, and Robert Garcia sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging the Justice Department to "develop a new protocol" that would allow members to "meaningfully" review the documents. Jayapal accused Bondi of "spying" on her search history when she visited the DOJ earlier this week.
