Before Chasing Olympic History, Chloe Kim First Had to Find Peace After more than a decade in snowboarding’s spotlight, Kim enters her third Olympics with a new perspective on what it means to love her sport—and herself.

We see what Chloe Kim can do. She thinks about everything she missed. I talked to her about the price of being a prodigy — and why she knows exactly when she will retire: www.si.com/olympics/chl...

The Tragic End of Lindsey Vonn’s Comeback Doesn’t Erase the Triumph of Trying The 41-year-old’s devastating crash in the women’s downhill sent shockwaves through the Milan Cortina Olympics, but it doesn’t mean it was all for nothing.

From Day 1, the Milan Cortina Olympics Are Already As Bizarre As Ever From reports of a crotch-size manipulation scandal in ski jumping to a Mariah Carey performance, the 2026 Winter Games are off to a peculiar start.

Meet the Winter Olympics’ Newest Adventure-Packed Sport: Ski Mountaineering The 2026 Games will feature one new sport in the program: skimo. It follows in the IOC’s tradition of experimentation that has brought us several mainstays.

The Murder of The Washington Post Today’s layoffs are the latest attempt to kill what makes the paper special.

What is happening to The Washington Post is infuriating and sad on so many levels … @ashleyrparker.bsky.social nails it: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Donate to Washington Post 2026 layoff fund, organized by Rachel Siegel On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off hundreds of journalists. We ar… Rachel Siegel needs your support for Washington Post 2026 layoff fund

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

When Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post in 2013, his net worth was $25 billion.

His net worth today is $248 billion.

He is laying off 300 journalists because he is “losing money.”

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Jeff Bezos has enough spare change under the seat cushions of his rocket to keep this newspaper afloat. Can't he just pretend that the Washington Post is, like, a $75 million vanity documentary
