The Most Emotional Moments From Milano Cortina 2026

Here we go with Michaela Schifrin. Just flow with the mountain. This is poetry. This is perfect. This is absolutely beautiful racing from Schifrin. Right out of the textbook. It's got to be gold for the USA. Schifrin has crushed the world. Schifrin wins Olympic gold by one and a half seconds. Remarkable racing from the greatest of all time. She's back. Back to the top of the podium in Olympic competition. The nightmare of Beijing when she DNF'd in Slalom and Giant Slalom. Is now behind Michaela Schifrin. Nobody but you. Is keeping me alive. This is Alyssa Liu of the USA skating to Donna Summer's cover of Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park. Hoping with the flip, triple flip. This is Olympic Winter Games like you've never seen them before. Alyssa Liu. This is today. United States of America stepped away from the sport shortly after Beijing. Saying that figure skating had taken up her whole life and she didn't know anything else. She wanted to find out who she was. What the world was. Fourth Games for the crowd favorite Francesca Lola Brigida. Pair number eight in the women's 3,000 meters. You can expect the Canadian to re-establish the lead. And they are putting cat and mouse here. An incredible back straightaway going over the top of Malte. She is two arms down like she's racing the 500 meters. She is crushing this on home soil. Francesca Lola Brigida over the line. Record set in front of her adoring home crowd of 3.54.28. 6.92 seconds faster than the time set by Marijova. What a performance from her. Can you imagine watching your mom win an Olympic gold medal? Francesca Lola Brigida. What can you say? Fourth Games. Perfect champion. Juanico also has done his thing. I really want to show them that despite what people tell you, you can go for it. It's okay to fall through at times. You can continue to grow and fight through hard times. The two Americans go at it. She's done it. She's held her up. Alana Myers-Taylor has held on. Look at what it means to these athletes. This is an incredible story. In Alana's own words, this is insane. Coming back after not one but two children. Alana Myers-Taylor! She wasn't just coming back to go around for no reason.
