It’s Winter Olympics time! AKA it’s time for the most terrifying, anxiety inducing two weeks of TV you will ever see. Whether is watching someone plunge down a mountain at 140km per hour, launching themselves either off a cliff or down an icy wall pretending to be a ‘half pipe’ or gliding and twirling across the ice with blades strapped to their feet, there is no denying that there is something a bit nuts about winter sports athletes. Cate and Bronte unpack some of the biggest moments of the Milano 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Australia is currently sitting 11th on the medal table - ahead of countries like Canada. We have 3 gold medalists, Cooper Woods, Josie Baff and Jakara Anthony. A silver for Scotty James and a bronze for Matt Graham. This has been our most successful Australian Winter Olympics team in History . And we unpack some of the major international headlines, King Klaebo from Norway who picked up his 9th gold medal - 4th from these Games. Lindsey Vonn - was she courageous or selfish? And THAT post race interview from biathlete Sturla Laegried. So many stories to discuss.
