The United States has clinched its second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the figure skating team event at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. The victory, secured by a narrow margin over Japan, marks a historic defense of the title, with key performances from Ilia Malinin and the ice dance duo Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics officially commenced on February 6, 2026, with preliminary events in figure skating, curling, and women's ice hockey preceding a spectacular opening ceremony. Hosted across northern Italy, the Games will feature 116 events with 2,871 athletes from 92 nations until February 22.
With just 100 days remaining until the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Hungary's delegation is setting its sights on securing medals, primarily in short track speed skating and figure skating. The Hungarian Olympic Committee anticipates sending a team of 17 to 19 athletes.
Chinese ice dancers Ren Junfei and Xing Jianing are under investigation by the International Skating Union (ISU) after being seen with a toy ballistic missile, labeled 'DF-61,' during the Cup of China Grand Prix event on October 25, 2025. The ISU expressed regret over the 'inappropriate' incident and confirmed a full investigation.
