🏂 USA Eyes More Podiums - Olympics Update
On Day 11, Team USA is stacking up strong performances at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games and this weekend brought everything from dominant wins to dramatic comebacks.
The U.S. men’s hockey team powered past Germany and earned a spot straight into the quarterfinals. On the ice in Cortina, both the men’s and women’s curling teams picked up impressive victories, including a comeback win for the women and a statement win over defending champs Sweden for the men.
On the snow, Americans are advancing across multiple events. Snowboarders and freeski athletes punched tickets to slopestyle and big air finals, while the U.S. skeleton team competed in the Olympic debut of the mixed team event. In monobob, Elana Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries are sitting in medal position midway through competition.
It’s been a weekend of momentum, grit, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue energy.

👵 Wellness: Wisdom at 92
A 92-year-old shares 10 honest lessons about aging and why your 60s matter more than you think.
Remember, our Local Senior wellness educator Kristen Nielsen, founder of TogetherWon shares simple ways to gently train your brain and body together, helping you feel more confident about your balance over time. This is directly related to the above advice to keep yourself strong and sharp as you age.
I have to be honest, I’ve been doing these 1-minute exercises myself, and I am in constant admiration of how Kristen challenges us to be stronger in such simple ways. We are so fortunate to have her wisdom 2x per month here to help us navigate real life with confidence.
