What do you do on Day 11 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics?

If you're Jill, you spend hours doing logistics. Then you go to speed skating and life gets a little better.

If you're Alison, you get to figure skating early to see the women's short program in action and try not to leave your seat.

If you're in Livigno, you're not seeing much because it snowed enough to postpone some competitions.
