The American superstar skier underwent surgery for a fracture in her left leg after her horrific crash this morning in Cortina d’Ampezzo, according to Reuters.

Vonn was taken to a hospital in Treviso after she was airlifted off the downhill ski course.

Vonn, whose battle to reach the start line despite her knee injury dominated the opening days of the Milano-Cortina Olympics, saw her unlikely quest thwarted as she screamed in agony on the snow.

Moir is part of the coaching team this year for French-Canadian ice dancers Marie-Jare Lauriault and Romain Le Gac, who have also been married for more than a decade. He said he feels the pressure, but not the same way he did on the ice.

"I'm a bit more nervous as a coach than I was as a competitor, but the rush is different. I don't get to actually act on it  … to be involved in it and immersed in it, with the touch and the feel, I don't think we ever get that again," he told The Canadian Press in an interview with Virtue.

It's been eight years since two-time Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir performed at their last Winter Games. 

Virtue, from London, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., won ice dance gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and 2018 Pyeongchang Games in South Korea. They of course secured the latter with their free dance to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which is still a comfort watch for millions of figure skating fans – and just regular people – year after year.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned anti-Olympics protesters as "enemies of Italy" after a demonstration in Milan turned violent on Saturday. 

Protesters clashed with police as authorities investigated a series of incidents that disrupted the national rail network on the first full day of the Winter Olympics. The Transport Ministry called the delays an act of "serious sabotage." 

Meloni ​praised the thousands of Italians who were working to make the Games run smoothly and present a positive face of Italy.

"Then there are those ⁠who are enemies of Italy and Italians, demonstrating against the Olympics and ensuring ‍that these images are ⁠broadcast on television screens around the world," she wrote in Italian on Instagram Sunday. 

Surprise interview with Maïa Schwinghammer’s dad will make you emotional

While doing interviews in the streets of Livigno, Ariel Helwani finds Maïa Schwinghammer's dad, who cries talking about watching his daughter compete at Milano Cortina 2026.

The 24-year-old from Saskatoon is competing in her first Olympics after building a steady World Cup resume that includes four career podiums, including a bronze medal at the 2025 world championships in Engadin, Switzerland.

Her father, Rick Schwinghammer, said seeing his daughter compete at the Olympics "gets you all emotional." 

"It's so fun to be here. It's awesome. We decided that she's done so well. She's already at the top and made it here. It's just great," Schwinghammer said through tears. "I mean, she's worked really hard. She's healthy and strong and has a goal, and I guess her mom taught her good things."

The Canadian mixed doubles curling team's chances of making the four-team cut for the semifinals are looking slim. 

Brett Gallant and Jocelyn Peterman took a 7-6 loss to Sweden at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium on Sunday. Their record stands at 3-4 in round-robin play after dropping four straight games.

They'll need to win their two remaining games and hope other results fall in their favour to keep any medal hopes alive.

Gallant and Peterman, from Chestermere, Alta., will play South Korea at 1:05 p.m. ET. Canada's round-robin finale is set for Monday at 4:05 a.m. ET against Switzerland.

The semifinals will be played Monday night and the medal games are set for Tuesday.

Francesca Lollobrigida was in the audience of the men's 5,000-metre long-track speed-skating final. She set the Olympic record yesterday in the women's 3,000-metre — and claimed the host country's first gold of the Games. It was also Italy's first Olympic gold ever in women's speed skating. She also celebrated her 35th birthday. That's a lot of milestones. 

Her teammates, youngster Riccardo Lorello and veteran Davide Ghiotto, finished in third and fourth in the long-track skate. 

Bloemen finishes behind France's Timothy Loubineaud. Bloemen's time is 6:17.97, landing him in 13th place, and Loubineaud's is 6:11.15. Neither are on the podium and Norway's Sander Eitrem will take gold with that record. Czech skater Metoděj Jílek gets silver and Italian Riccardo Lorello wins bronze with a time of 6:09.22.

Bloemen is slightly behind but gaining time, with six laps to go.

Sander Eitrem of Norway just beat an Olympic record in his skate against Czech skater Metoděj Jílek. Eitrem finished at 6:03.95, making it the time to beat today. Jílek finished with 6:06.48.

U.S. Vice-President JD Vance is in the crowd. He's been spotted at a few Milano-Cortina events so far, including at the opening ceremony in Milan, where he received loud boos from some in the audience.
