"Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility"

I could explain to you the drama, but I won't

Because that defeats her point

Why, at the pinnacle of her team's success at the #Olympics #WinterOlympics #WinterOlympics2026, is the focus on anything other than her team?

Why steal their thunder? Why subcede it to someone else's toxicity?

A common problem in this world

Poland Team's Pieróg becomes an unofficial mascot at the Winter Olympics.

The pillows called Pieroguszka (pieróg+poduszka (pillow)) are made by a workshop based in Katowice that employs people with disabilities.

Eni’s annual fossil fuel emissions could melt enough glacier ice to fill 2.5 million Olympic swimming pools 😱

But will #WinterOlympics organisers listen?

Will they drop oil and gas companies as sponsors?

🇮🇹 Italy hosted the Winter Games in 2006 and they’re carving fresh tracks in the show again, right now, in 2026 ❄️⛷️⛸️

Norway’s consistency at the Winter Games stems from a culture that puts children’s happiness, equal access to sports and shared expertise ahead of fast results, according to its delegation head. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/02/17/norway-keys-winter-success/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #norway #2026milanocortinaolympics #winterolympics

What a story: to start the final round in fifth position after the previous day’s error, and produce a performance of genuine beauty taking gold in the process. Wonderful! If you haven’t seen it seek it out and treat yourself to a few minutes of joy.
