Chinese Paralympic skier Cai Jiayun is known for two things: a wide, boyish grin and a quick temper. He won China's first gold at the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
Team China has "achieved excellence" both on and off the field in Milan, Italy, over the past two weeks, said Tong Lixin, deputy head of the Chinese delegation at Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
There is little question that Jutta Leerdam and her fiance, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, have brought new eyeballs to speed-skating with all of their millions of followers on social media. Now, all of those people who have been introduced to her sport saw Leerdam become an Olympic champion.
Even with the "best-ever" run of her life not enough for a golden finish, China's freeski sensation Gu Ailing is embracing her back-to-back Olympic silver medals in slopestyle as a huge career fulfillment.
