Episode 68: 2026 Winter Olympics Bids Are In!

from Keep the Flame Alive · host Jill Jaracz & Alison Brown

It's going to be Milano-Cortina vs. Stockholm-Åre for the right to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. This week we talk about the two bids and start pondering which will win the IOC's vote come June 24-26. The IOC also recently published an essay on how it wants to evolve the Games for future generations. This was interesting because it likely signals a change in the Olympic program. We've got some listener feedback about this and talk about the sports that could be in danger. DISCLAIMER: OLYMPIC® is a trademark of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee ("USOPC").
