Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics: Day 4

During Day 4 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, we check out new sports, new train stations, and new venues. Alison has become a navigating fool, while Jill had to learn how to navigate to and from the new ice hockey arena built especially for the Olympics (and finished literally seconds before the first player took the ice).

Note: Jill forgot to tell you about the actual navigation to and from the venue, which is a doozy, so that will be on tomorrow's "What we forgot to tell you yesterday" segment.

Sports on today's program:

• Alpine skiing
• Biathlon
• Cross-Country skiing
• Curling
• Figure skating
• Freestyle skiing
• Ice hockey
• Luge
• Short track speedskating
• Ski jumping
