The 2026 Winter Olympics are bringing thousands of athletes from around the world together for more than two weeks of competition — and the Games are a gold mine for statistics.

The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics continue on Tuesday, February 10, with another full day of action across the slopes and ice in Italy, with the United States competing in several high-stakes events.

Unlike in the Summer Olympics where Americans often dominate the podium, Team USA has lagged behind a bit in recent Winter Games. In 2022, Team USA finished fifth in the medal count with 25 total medals -- although their nine gold medals was good for third.

The International Olympic Committee said Tuesday that skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych's "helmet of remembrance" fell foul of its guidelines but that it would allow him to wear a black armband as a compromise.

Team USA is sending its largest group ever for the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina. Here's how many athletes are going.

Skier Chris Lillis said he was "heartbroken about what's happened in the United States," while skater Amber Glenn said she "will not just be quiet."

Team USA faces Sweden in the gold medal match of the mixed doubles curling. Plus, the U.S. women's hockey team faces rivals Canada in a Group A preliminary matchup, and catch Ilia Malinin and Max Naumov in the men's singles figure skating short program.

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Vladyslav Heraskevych showed up for the Milan Cortina Olympics with a new helmet, one featuring the images of about a half-dozen of his fellow Ukrainian athletes. They were all killed in Russian attacks.

Back at the 2022 Winter Olympics in China, Hall didn’t just show up — he showed out, snagging Olympic gold for Team USA in freestyle skiing and cementing himself as one of the sport’s biggest stars. As one admirer recently put it: “got lost in his eyes.” Another watching him on the slopes wrote, “Omg he’s a god.”
