The 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics have just wrapped up, and they were exciting as always.

Even more exciting was how much athletes from the Buckeye State showed up during the games.

Ohio athletes dominated events like women’s and men’s hockey.

Ohio also had athletes in sports like skiing and snowboarding.

Who were the other big winners at the games, and how did Italy compare to the likes of Paris and Tokyo?

Looking forward, is Los Angeles ready to bear the torch for the 2028 Olympic Games and what role will Columbus have in the summer games?
