One married couple will spend Valentine's Day going head-to-head in an Olympic medal event. Belgium's Kim Meylemans and Brazil's Nicole Rocha Silveira are competing in the women's skeleton event at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games -- just over a year after they tied the knot.
Nearly 106 years after the two nations faced off at the Games of the VIIth Olympiad in Antwerp, Belgium, a white-hot rivalry will see its heat turned up another few degrees in Sunday’s gold medal game of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 (8:10 a.m. ET; Peacock, NBC, ICI Tele, CBC Gem, CBC, SN [JIP], TSN [JIP], RDS2).
For athletes at the ongoing 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, a podium finish can come with six-figure checks.
As the 2026 Winter Olympics enter their second week of competition, one country is clearly starting to dominate the Olympic medal count.
