I love seeing all the different international names at the Olympics. Place any names you like or find interesting that you’ve seen in the winter 2026 Olympics, bonus if you say what sport you seen them in!
Here is also my post for the 2024 Olympic name sightings !
[name_m]Sander[/name_m] Eitrem [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] men’s 5000m speed skating. He broke the world record 2 weeks ago, and today he set a new record for the Olympics [name_f][/name_f]. Dudes on fire
for the gold-medal curling mixed doubles game, the Swedish team was a pair of siblings named [name_f]Isabella[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] and [name_m]Rasmus[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], and the Americans were [name_m]Cory[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] (f) and [name_f]Korey[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] (m)!

and a few sightings from women’s luge: [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Dorothea[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Olena[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Merle[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Malou[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] (most articles i saw just called her [name_m]Merle[/name_m], so [name_f]Malou[/name_f] might be her middle name?) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tove[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Verena[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
I don’t know where you live, but if you are in the US, you can watch replays of everything on Peacock! Most of it happens in the middle of the night for me because of my time zone, so I usually watch the replays anyway [name_f][/name_f] I also don’t have local or cable TV, so Peacock is my only option anyway haha. I just do one month of a subscription when the Olympics are on so I can watch haha. I think we got some kind of deal this time too!

That being said, you might not have a lot of time to watch because school is so time consuming haha
[name_f]Piper[/name_f] [name_m]Gilles[/name_m] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] Poirier won bronze for us in ice dance [name_f][/name_f]Here is a TSN link with a clip of the performance and just look at how stunning her van Gogh dress is and Paul’s coordinating bedazzled suit
