The first five-time Olympic medalist in the colorful, unpredictable sport of snowboarding comes from a colorful, unexpected place: New Zealand. The honor belongs to Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, a 24-year-old from Wanaka in New Zealand's Southern Lakes region — a world away from this sport's roots in the United States.

World champion freestyle skier Finley Melville Ives is "stable and positive" following a hard fall during men's freeski halfpipe qualifying at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday. It was the second serious incident in two days in freestyle skiing after Cassie Sharpe's fall during the women's halfpipe qualifying on Thursday.

Recapping from the final day of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, which included a historic gold medal victory for the U.S. men's hockey team.

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott makes history as New Zealand's first five-time Olympic medalist in snowboarding, marking a significant rise in the nation's winter sports prominence.

A statement from Charles and Camilla said those who did not reach the podium can ‘return home with proud hearts and heads held high’.
