Speed Skaters Draft Like NASCAR, Revamp Olympics!

The upcoming Winter Olympics will bring new triumphs and losses to familiar grounds, with the Games returning to Italy for the first time in two decades. Two Italian cities, Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, will host the 2026 Winter Games, according to Time. The Games have been hosted by 21 cities across 13 different countries since they were first held in Chamonix, France, in 1924.

In the world of sports, U.S. Olympic speed skaters are adapting NASCAR "bump drafting" techniques, revolutionizing the team pursuit event, as reported by NPR News. U.S. speed skater Giorgia Birkeland stated from Milan, "It's honestly a completely different race than an individual race. Everyone says it's the hardest event."

Beyond the realm of sports, the longevity economy is projected to be worth $27 trillion by 2030, with investors and world leaders showing keen interest, according to Time. In September, Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping discussed the potential for extending human lifespans through biotechnology, with predictions of humans living to 150 years old within this century.

Meanwhile, actress Olivia Colman recently discussed her career, including how "Jimpa" helped her rediscover her love of acting, and Hollywood's hesitancy towards queer stories, as reported by Variety. Colman, who has won an Oscar, two Emmys, and numerous BAFTAs, admitted that discussing her acting process can sound pretentious.

In historical context, the importance of Paul Revere's ride to warn the countryside of approaching Royal soldiers on April 18, 1775, was highlighted by Time. Revere's resolve was unwavering, even with the knowledge of British officers on horseback ahead. The battles of the American Revolution subsequently began.
