Italy's Ladin Minority Will Be Sidelined at the Winter Olympics Held in Their Mountain Home
- Monday, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced Team USA members, including Douglasville, Georgia native Elana Meyers Taylor for bobsled at the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
- Because final qualifiers involved three days of intense racing in Germany and Italy, Taylor's selection reflects her experience and performance during that process.
- Team USA Bobsled includes U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program members, while Christopher Fogt leads the squad in Italy as head coach for the first time this year.
- The roster is made up of 117 men and 115 women, including 98 returning Olympians and 18 Olympic champions, whose mix could decide medals and redefine the spotlight.
- Jeff Robbins said, 'From Team USA to competitors from around the world, the State of Sport continues to make a significant global impact on winter sports,' and you can watch the opening ceremony on Feb. 6 on NBC5.
