Olympics: Brazil Wins Gold, Hockey Fans Go Viral!

Brazil made history at the 2026 Winter Olympics, securing its first-ever gold medal on February 15, 2026, with Lucas Pinheiro Braathen's victory in the giant slalom event in Italy. The games, which began on February 4th and are scheduled to continue through the closing ceremony on February 22nd, also saw a viral moment when fans raised the Greenland flag during the USA's hockey match against Denmark.

The Winter Olympics, taking place in Italy, are six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time and nine hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (according to CBS News). The United States hockey team secured a comeback win against Denmark, with the final score being 6-3. During the game, two fans, Vita Kalniņa and her husband Alexander Kalniņš, who are fans of the Latvian hockey team and live in Germany, raised the flag of Greenland in protest of former President Donald Trump's intent to acquire Greenland for the U.S. (as reported by Fox News).

Braathen expressed his pride at hearing Brazil's national anthem after his historic win, stating it was a proud moment after growing up watching its football team triumph (according to Al Jazeera). Norway currently leads the medal count, followed by the United States and Italy (according to CBS News).

In other news, Cuba announced on Saturday that it would postpone its annual cigar fair due to fuel shortages caused by a US oil embargo (according to Euronews). Habanos S.A., the fair's organizer and the global monopoly on Cuban cigar sales, cited the need to maintain quality standards as the reason for the postponement. No new date has been set for the event's 26th edition.

Meanwhile, the true crime show "48 Hours" premiered its 38th season on September 27, 2025, and airs Saturdays on CBS and streams on Paramount (according to CBS News). Full episodes are also available on Pluto TV, YouTube, and Netflix. A "48 Hours" FAST Channel is available on CBSNews.com, Pluto TV, Paramount, and partner channels.
