Japan won three medals on Saturday, Day 2 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, including a one-two finish in the men's snowboard big air event.

The first snowboarding event of the 2026 Winter Olympics is in the books. Japan’s Kira Kimura, making his Olympic debut, took gold in men’s big air on Saturday.

The surprise came on Saturday, when four-time U.S. champion Ilia Malinin gave an uncharacteristically uneven performance in the men’s short program and finished in second behind Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama. The “ Quad God ” will get a chance of redemption in the men’s free skate, the final event of the team portion.

The United States is still in charge of the figure skating team competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics after five events.

Italy came from behind to erase a late Norway lead and claim a 6-5 win in Session 3 of curling mixed doubles round robin action today in Milan Cortina. This was a rematch of the 2022 Winter Olympics gold medal match.

The 2026 Winter Olympics is fully underway following Friday night’s opening ceremony. In practice, competition actually began on Wednesday, February 4, when the curling started.

Ilia Malinin became the first person in 50 years to legally land a backflip at the Winter Olympics, doing it in the figure skating team event.

Team USA made an immediate impact on the first full day of competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics, headlined by another one-sided performance from the women's hockey team and a five-point lead in figure skating's team event that sets up a pivotal Sunday.
