Speedskater Stolz Eyes GOAT Amid Olympic Gold & Drama!

Brazil's Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made history at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Bormio, Italy, on February 14, 2026, winning a gold medal in the men's giant slalom and securing South America's first-ever Winter Olympics medal, according to NPR News. Meanwhile, American speedskater Jordan Stolz continued his dominant performance, claiming a second gold medal and setting a new Olympic record in the 500-meter race.

Braathen's victory was met with exuberant celebration, including samba dancing, as reported by NPR News. Stolz, who had already won the 1000-meter race, finished the 500-meter sprint in 33.77 seconds, .11 seconds ahead of Dutch speedskater Jenning de Boo, according to Time. Stolz's coach, Bob Corby, had reminded him before the race that it would be won on the backstretch, urging him to "burn, like you've never burned before," according to Time.

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina also saw other notable events, including performance setbacks for some athletes due to pressure, according to a multi-source report in Time. The games are unfolding alongside other global events, including the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup cricket match and the Munich Security Conference where Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk honored Ukraine, according to Time.

Beyond the Olympics, the United States prepared to observe Presidents' Day, a federal holiday honoring the birthday and legacy of George Washington, according to Time. Observed on the third Monday of February, the holiday is marked by patriotic parades and historical reenactments. "Its a really good opportunity to reflect on the origins of the presidential office and what was intended by Washington and the other framers at the Constitutional Convention," Lindsay Chervinsky, executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, told Time. A winter storm watch was issued for Northern California impacting Presidents Day weekend, according to a multi-source report in Time.
