FRANCESCA YES!

Jessie Diggins, racing with bruised ribs, fought through the injury to win the bronze medal in the women's 10-kilometer freestyle race Thursday in Tesero, Italy. Latest Olympics updates: bit.ly/3O2xuzw

Good morning to Jessie Diggins and ONLY Jessie Diggins.

Column: Tears, anger and disillusionment at the sliding venue. Ukrainian fans who showed up to support skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych were greeted with an IOC DQ. He sacrificed an Olympic dream to make a statement for a war-torn country. www.si.com/winter-olymp...

I remain unconvinced that ice dance has rules and/or regulations

Chock AND Bates? In this economy?

(me, commentating the winter olympics) aren't they cold

Jordan Stolz you are a true sicko (complimentary)

Good job, Liz Lemley

Coming in Wednesday's @startribune.com: Paula Moltzan rises to the podium in the women's Alpine combined — and of course, the C/Kor(e)ys win silver. www.startribune.com/2026-winter-...

Rasmus and Isabella Wranå of Sweden counted two in the final end and edged Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin of the U.S. 6-5 for the gold medal in mixed doubles curling today. Thiesse and Dropkin play out of Duluth. Live updates: bit.ly/45XxwyT

NBC nails the promotional material ahead of the gold medal round. Its curling time! (this time with the Alt text)

2/10 AM UPDATE: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's staff layoffs additionally include: · Rosana Hughes, a bilingual breaking news reporter · Avery Newmark, a lifestyle & wellness journalist and media producer. Yes, every layoff we know so far is still a woman and/or a person of color.

It's actually hilarious watching JH Klæbo obliterate people on skis.

Prior Lake's Paula Moltzan won bronze in the women's combined with teammate Jackie Wiles, becoming the first Minnesotan to medal at the Milan Cortina Games. That and more on the @startribune.com live blog: www.startribune.com/2026-winter-...

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

C/KOR(E)Y!

I am HOLLERING about the C/Kor(e)ys.

If you're new(ish) to curling and need a friendly primer on what's what - ends, houses, hammers, freezes - we've got you. www.startribune.com/how-to-watch...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

We’re gonna win they’re gonna lose

That was positively sensational. Wow.

Imagining wanting less of this in America lol. Skill issue

Simply on a live performance stagecraft-design-camerawork-logistics-direction level, this is ASTOUNDING.

Ilia Malinin, you outrageous boy.

Korey Dropkin wowza

Big day for Norwegians.

Holy cow.

don’t think having two good acls or no good acls would’ve mattered for lindsey vonn in that crash. she hooked a gate with her pole at the takeoff for a jump and there’s nothing you can do at that point

oh sure europeans love it when a guy on the slopes casually pulls out a rifle and starts blasting away but when an american does it at a dairy queen it's "barbaric"

Seeing a lot of analysis of why this data-driven approach is a bad strategy for running a newspaper, and sure, totally, it is, but the bigger issue with the Bezos quote is that it's a lie and not at all a description of what Bezos is doing

Tough day for the C/Kor(e)ys.

Coming in Sunday's @startribune.com: Big air in Livigno, and plenty more on the Minnesotans in action. www.startribune.com/2026-winter-...

Good morning to Francesca Lollobrigida and no one else.

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

Coming in Saturday's @startribune.com: The five mountains (and one notable hill) that define Lindsey Vonn's career and comeback (with mapping by @jakesteinberg.com and design work by @ellie-lin.bsky.social), plus the Opening Ceremony from Milan. So it begins.

I don’t think a broadcaster should be allowed to cut to commercials with sound during the Parade of Nations

THREAD: Let’s talk about Roni, the outstanding raccoon mascot of the 1980 Winter Olympics …

In one of the, frankly, silliest moments of my journalism career: I drew 16 loons at the Olympics (Oloonpics), one for each day of the Games. You can see them all — and download your favorites, if you’re so inclined — here: www.startribune.com/are-you-loon...

Each of the Post layoffs is a loss. And not just for the Post's staff and the Post readers. In so many ways, the Post was an aspirational place so many journalists wanted to work. And it was because of the people who worked there. This is especially true in graphics and design.

hell yeah now it's an Olympics www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

This brought tears to my eyes this morning. "This is the strangers' case; and this your mountainish inhumanity."

I have so many thoughts about what was unleashed on @washingtonpost.com and many of my @postguild.bsky.social siblings yesterday. The most productive thought is to support them. Please give generously with me to help these dedicated journalists who are paying the price for others’ cowardice.

the Swiss mixed doubles curling team is married and when their game ended the Peacock stream just showed them playing with their Curling Baby for like 5 minutes with the Olympics music playing

It's been such a joy to watch this story come together from the sidelines. Shoutout to Lindsey Vonn for skiing through the whole ACL thing so that we could still publish it. www.startribune.com/five-mountai...

Super cool design and presentation from @jakesteinberg.com and @ellie-lin.bsky.social

The Washington Wizards doing this within hours of the Washington Post killing its sports section is one an ever-increasing list of "would have been rejected in the writers room" things that actually happened.

with his $253.2 billion, Jeff Bezos could afford to pay 100 sportswriters $100,000 a year for the next 25,000 years
