Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympics: Day 4

It's Day 4 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympics! Alison survives another  Giacomo in the Morning experience to get to para Alpine skiing for (part of) the combined event. She also watched TKFLASTAN's Steve Emt and Laura Dwyer battle Korea in the semifinals of the mixed doubles wheelchair curling tournament. They've made it to the medal rounds, but what color are they playing for? Meanwhile, Jill had the six-hour commute to watch two periods of para ice hockey, but they were good ones, as the USA faced China, and  we got the answer to what China's goal song is! Plus, TKFLASTAN has a great day at para cross-country skiing!   Sports on today's program: Para Alpine skiing Para cross-country skiing Para ice hockey Wheelchair curling   GRAND FINALE 150!
