The final day in Italy felt like a dream. We saw a legend take her final bow, a new generation of hockey heroes rise, and a closing ceremony that turned an ancient arena into a literal opera house. Milan and Cortina, you were magnificent.

One of our jumpers suffered an injury during the event, and another was disqualified because her skis were too long for her weight—the technicalities in this sport are brutal! Our third jumper made it through but didn't quite get the distance needed for the podium. The Podium: Team Norway proved they own the air today. 🥇 Gold: Anna Odine Strøm (Norway) — She is now a double-gold medalist! 🥈 Silver: Eirin Maria Kvandal ...
