cortina is also co-hosting the olympics, and they actually hosted the olympics 70 years ago.o some of the venues they're using are actually venues from the 1956 winter olympics, including a very well respected ski mountain where we're going to be looking at the women's downhill skiers trying to set world records and olympic records. what they're going to be looking at is the spectacular range of mountains, the dolomites, some of the most recognizable mountains in the italian alps. and that view of those mountains which look pink in the morning s sun, wil just absolutely inspire them to perform at their highest level. by the way, the stadium where they had the opening ceremony is now an enclosed ice rink. so the 1956 hockey and opening ceremony venue is going to be the curling venue for 2026. what a backdrop. okay, jonathan, are you having any fun at all? can you do some sightseeing? you must be eating. hopefully tasting the italian food, the pastries. tell me about what you've been eating. the. yeah. well, okay. so. so you got to you got to taste some, some great f food in t

this is an olympics.different, maybe a little bit of the olympics of the future, but it's going to have an italian flair. and i think that's going to be really exciting for everyone back in the states. yeah. no kidding. and this is interesting. we've been looking into it. there's a new event making its debut this year, mike ski mountaineering. tell us a little bit more about it. so let's say you stare at a mountain and we're going to ski up the mountain a little bit, and then we're going to walk up the mountain a little bit. then we're going to ski fast down the mountain with some gaetz, and now we've got an olympic sport, right? ski mountaineering is different. i always give credit to the international olympic committee, oft criticized and sometimes understandably so. but there's always the effort to keep it new, keep it fresh, keep it young, keep it exciting. and as these sports are competed on the world stage, it introduces new opportunities for people to go out, move, exercise and do things. ski mount
