That’s it… the Winter Olympics are over — and what a spectacular, sleep-destroying sporting festival it’s been.
Rob reflects on the magic of Milano-Cortina 2026, the atmosphere, the drama, the memory making moments, and a genuinely historic Games for Team GB. From Matt Weston’s golden brilliance on the skeleton track to more curling tension than is medically advisable, Britain’s winter stars delivered in style.
But watching from the sofa simply wasn’t enough…
In part two of Rob’s Olympic diary, he heads to Cortina for a whirlwind immersion into the live Olympic experience - taking in curling at full volume, chatting with some London-based passionate Canadian sports fans, meeting Bruce Mouat’s mum (yes, really), crossing paths with USA Curling Secretary Dick Dawson, and then witnessing Matt Weston’s gold medal moment trackside.
Because of course, this being the Olympics, things also got wonderfully weird. From penis injections, to curling disputes, broken medals, rogue animals, emotional interviews and gloriously surreal moments, Rob rounds up the strange, funny and unforgettable side of the Winter Games.
Plus, a look ahead to the next Winter Olympics in the French Alps - a future edition already promising stunning venues, big ideas and a few intriguing twists.
