Chan, Stolz, and Paramount Dominate Headlines

American speed skater Jordan Stolz secured his second Olympic gold medal at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium, setting a new Olympic record in the 500-meter race with a time of 33.77 seconds. Stolz's victory, which came just three nights after winning the 1000-meter race, solidified his dominance in the sport, according to Time.

Stolz's coach, Bob Corby, reminded him before the race that even if his start time lagged behind his competitors, the race would be won on the backstretch. "So you've got to burn, like you've never burned before," Corby said, according to Time. Stolz's performance was .11 seconds ahead of Dutch speedskater Jenning de Boo, who finished second. The two athletes had also competed in the 500-meter race, where de Boo also came in second.

Meanwhile, the 2026 Berlin Film Festival and European Film Market (EFM) are showcasing a strong presence from Chinese cinema, with several official selections and market premieres. Jackie Chan's "Unexpected Family" and Anthony Chen's film are leading the Chinese presence, according to Variety. Hong Kong-based Golden Network Asia is bringing Jackie Chan's film to the market.

Veteran producer Bill Kong, through his Edko Films banner, is presenting four commercial titles at the EFM. Additionally, the Singapore-Hong Kong-China co-production "Panda" has been selected for the Forum section, as reported by Variety.

In other news, the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE Local 706) Awards recognized excellence in the film industry. "Sinners," "Frankenstein," and "One Battle After Another" took home top prizes in the Feature Motion Pictures categories, according to Variety.

Finally, Paramount has taken legal action against an AI app, citing concerns over romance scams and intellectual property infringement, as reported by multiple sources. Other significant developments include scrutiny of a costly military operation, the emergence of an AI platform creating profiles of Epstein-linked individuals, and the departure of a US health official amid controversy, according to Variety. Former President Obama's response to a racist AI video, international tensions with Iran, and domestic challenges like a Supreme Court climate change case are also making headlines.
