You know that meme of the guy with the medal and the champagne actually being in third? I'm that meme about Italy's bronze medal. So proud of them!! This team event has completely drained me of my energy I need to go to bed now

None of them are exactly *good* songs; I'll grant that.

But Italy's is the only national anthem on earth that I would consider voluntarily listening to, so that's not a requirement.

A sweet diversion in this week’s Buona Domenica: Strauben ~ fried funnel cakes from Italy’s Alto Adige. And why frying in February is a thing I love❣️

Politics tinged Friday’s ceremony when Vice President JD Vance received a round of boos at San Siro Stadium after being shown on a big screen. Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper reported that he was booed again on Saturday while leaving a women’s hockey match between the U.S. and Finland, as […]

The team event slapped, happiest for Italy’s bronze secured by Matteo Rizzo skating his ass off. Also Sato crying at silver is breaking my heart he was brilliant

Having Starbucks be an official Olympic partner while in Milano-Cortina makes me offended on Italy’s behalf.

Team USA using a union-busting company that overpays its execs and treats its workers poorly is very on brand though.

🇬🇪 Nika Edgaze was nervous, but fought through til the end.

🇮🇹 Matteo Rizzo threw it down and what an amazing skate! Team Italy’s celebration got me a little 🥹

🇨🇦 Stephen Gogolev fumbled a bit but still finished solid.

Matteo placed above Nika, making it official!

🇮🇹 wins 🥉

So cool!

Most intimidating skiing helmet award goes to... Italy's Federica Brignone. 🐯

Rizzo saved Italy's bacon with that performance and how cool to get your season best under the pressure of an Olympic final.
February 8, 2026 at 9:22 PM
Italy's Matteo Rizzo has me almost sobbing over here. What an amazing skate that was
Not the CBC commentators drawing attention to the fact that Amber Glenn is the oldest Women skater for the US in 100 years. She's only 26 🤦🏼‍♂️
A skating routine to the Jaws theme. And it's good

If this fucking commercial ribs me of Italy’s kiss and cry moment in writing the angriest nastiest bitchiest letter to NBCz

Italy's first team medal is pretty cool.

That figure skating routine to the music from “Jaws” by Italy’s Lara Gutman was BOSS! So artistic.
February 8, 2026 at 8:21 PM
Italy's Gutmann gets 126.

Ok. Here's Amber.
