A Chaotic Day at the Bobsled Track
With just as many crashes as a NASCAR race, it was a chaotic and harrowing day at the Olympic bobsled track in Cortina. During the second heat of the four-man event, three different sleds—representing Austria, France, and Trinidad & Tobago—flipped at high speeds, leading to some incredibly tense moments.
The most serious incident involved Austrian pilot Jakob Mandlbauer, who had to be hospitalized for evaluation after his sled overturned and skidded violently down the track. Thankfully, early reports indicate he is conscious and being closely monitored.
Between the massive weight of the four-man sleds and the deteriorating “chopped” ice conditions, the margin for error today was razor-thin. It’s a stark reminder of just how dangerous this sport can be, even for the world’s best athletes.
Hoping for a swift recovery for Mandlbauer and all the crews involved. 🇦🇹 🇫🇷 🇹🇹
Can You Compete?
From the hack to the house! 🥌 There’s nothing like the precision, the sweep, and the spirit of the game. This is the only Winter Olympics sport I could possibly compete in.
Meet Pieroguszka
Forget the ermines—the 2026 Winter Games have found their true carb-loaded hero! 🥟❄️
Meet Pieroguszka (literally “Little Pierogi Pillow”), the unofficial mascot currently stealing the spotlight with Team Poland in Milano Cortina. While other athletes are focused on “aerodynamics” and “fitness,” the Polish figure skating team showed up with a smiling dumpling that looks like it’s ready for a nap and a side of sour cream. Talk about a “filling” performance! I guess when the competition gets cold, you need a giant, plushy carb to keep your spirits high. 🥟
You can buy Pieroguszka directly from the source: a social cooperative in Katowice, Poland, that supports people with disabilities. Because they went viral at the 2026 Winter Games, stock is selling out faster than they can make them.
