As the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics approaches its penultimate day, Team USA has made headlines with a remarkable achievement. Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran, and Chris Lillis secured a gold medal in mixed aerials, contributing to a historic total of 11 golds for the United States, marking their highest tally in any Winter Games to date.
On Saturday, fans can look forward to several exciting events in Italy. Jordan Stolz, a rising star in speedskating, has the chance to claim a third Olympic gold in the mass start event. The 21-year-old athlete previously earned gold in the 500 meters and 1,000 meters but finished with a silver in the 1,500 meters — a race he is usually dominant in. The mass start, known for its thrilling competition style where all skaters begin simultaneously, presents Stolz with a unique opportunity to shine once again.
Additionally, the U.S. women’s curling team is set to face Canada for the bronze medal. After reaching the Olympic playoffs for the first time since 2002, the team fell to Switzerland in the semifinals but has a chance to secure a medal against their North American rivals.
In the women’s freeski halfpipe final, Eileen Gu will continue her Olympic journey, competing in her third event of these Games. The American-born athlete, who represents China, faces a competitive field, including fellow Americans Svea Irving and Kate Gray. Gu’s previous performances have sparked discussion, adding an intriguing layer to her participation.
As the Olympic Games progress, Team USA continues to make a strong showing, raising excitement as athletes compete for medals and glory. The culmination of these events promises to be thrilling, and fans are encouraged to keep up with the latest results through available streaming options and NBC broadcasts.
