Nordic combined is the only Olympic sport that doesn't allow women to compete, despite athletes' efforts to change that. They say their odds for 2030 hinge on people watching men's events this week.

Events for the 2030 Winter Olympics will be split between four French cities: Nice, Briancon, Haute-Savoie and Savoie. France has hosted the Winter Olympics three times; in 1992 at Albertville, in 1968 at Grenoble, and at the first Winter Olympics in 1924 at Chamonix.

It's been 70 years since Cortina first hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956. In that time, the town’s average February temperature has warmed by 6.4° F, according to data analyzed by the independent research group Climate Central.

Lake Placid has a long Olympic history, having hosted the 1932 Winter Olympics and the 1980 Winter Olympics. Governor Kathy Hochul has also indicated support for pursuing a future bid and in early 2026 proposed $100 million in her state budget to maintain and upgrade ORDA-operated venues

MILAN (AP) — Ilia Malinin need only to have looked into the stands on Friday night, where Nathan Chen watched as the American figure skating sensation known as the “Quad god” fell apart in his Olympic free skate,

The rising global temperatures could endanger the future of the Winter Olympics, even with technological innovations like snowmaking machines.

But scientists warned of a sustained trend where "snow is wetter and thinner, [and] conditions are rainier," endangering athletes and the future of the Games. The outlet cited a 2024 study that examined the feasibility of future events in light of current warming trends.
