It’s Day 12 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, and while we’re coming down to the home stretch, there’s still a lot of Olympics to enjoy, in particular a dog who decided it wanted to cross-country ski! Mikaela Shiffren dominated the Alpine slalom slope, and Johannes Klaebo added yet another gold medal to his tally.
Alison spent the day in Valtellina, learning about the culture of that area, while Jill got some hospitality vibes at a number of the popular sponsor and country houses and the official hospitality club. Did any of them live up to the hype?
Plus, evening ice hockey action at Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, where Team Canada had a big scare.
Sports on today’s program:
- Alpine skiing
- Biathlon
- Cross-country skiing
- Curling
- Freestyle skiing
- Ice hockey
- Short track speed skating

Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics-Day 12
Jill Jaracz: [00:00:00] Bonjourno and welcome to Keep the Flame Alive. Day 12 coverage of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. I am your host, Jill Jarris, coming to you from Shukla Dawn House. Joined as always by my lovely co-host, Alison Brown. Allison Chow Coma. I,
Alison Brown: I’m very excited about this. What we forgot. Piece because the note you wrote has me intrigued.
So let’s get right to that.
Jill Jaracz: Well, I went to, when I went to the main press center to get my travel [00:01:00] sorted out. Um, which follow up to that, the hockey venue had a big sign on how to get to and from Verona. So I’m very happy that that was there and not surprised that it was not at the travel desk, let’s be honest.
Alison Brown: But I did wanna tell you on that note that I did see the sign for the games desk at, uh. Centrally station.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, well that’s good. Okay,
Alison Brown: so I can point you in the somewhat correct direction.
Jill Jaracz: Excellent. That’s what I like to hear. Um, but the thing I, when I got into the main press center, uh, I wanted to poke my head in the store, which was pretty ransacked.
Although we have not had intel that there are mascots going to be available.
Alison Brown: I know, I saw that.
Jill Jaracz: Um, and then my body was like, you got to eat right now. So I went up to the little. Cafe and Gotti pressed sandwich, which was okay. You know, it was [00:02:00] not bad. And um, then after I paid for everything, then I noticed the gelato cart.
The cart.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: And then I looked at the gelato flavors and they have a Milano Cortina flavor.
Alison Brown: Oh yes. So this is a special
Jill Jaracz: Yes. Gelato Milano Cortina. It is, uh. Mars Capone ice cream with saffron, with raspberry sauce and biscuit crumble.
Alison Brown: That sounds awful.
Jill Jaracz: It was delightful. Oh, enjoyed. I enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I mean the saffron, I didn’t really taste the saffron. Oh, you don’t really notice it. I noticed Berry and I noticed like the creaminess of the Mars Capone.
Alison Brown: Okay. That
Jill Jaracz: and a little tiny crumble from the little tiny crunch from the bisque.
Alison Brown: See, that does sound lovely. But they got me with the saffron.
Jill Jaracz: Mm-hmm. I was worried about that too, although I, my taste buds are probably shot, so don’t, don’t trust me
Alison Brown: because I’ll probably be headed to the MPC not tomorrow. I think Friday morning [00:03:00] was my, was my MPC going to a. Uh, press conference.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, is that, is that Kirsty Coventry’s press conference?
Alison Brown: I think so.
Jill Jaracz: Okay.
Alison Brown: Maybe that’s Saturday morning. It’s one of the mornings. Mm. Okay. On one of the days that isn’t today. That’s what I know,
Jill Jaracz: and it, it wasn’t yesterday.
Alison Brown: That’s
Jill Jaracz: right. ’cause it wasn’t on the list of what we forgot. Okay. You had forgotten something for, for once. Thank goodness
Alison Brown: I did. Because yesterday on the ride home, back from the short program, ran into Lee Keefer and Garrick Minder on the train.
Jill Jaracz: My God. Oh that is awesome.
Alison Brown: But I didn’t bother them ’cause they looked a little huddled. But to myself, I was like, hi, lean Garrick. I’ll see you soon.
Jill Jaracz: Very nice. Very nice. I did, I ran into somebody from Olympian. On the Metro platform last night. That was fun.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: And we’ll get to my time at Airbnb ca or Casa Airbnb.
There were people on the, [00:04:00] where are we from? Wall that I knew from Olympian, Pam Pitcher was on there. And then another couple from Olympian that I, that I recognized. It was kind of fun.
Alison Brown: It’s like, I know you and I know you.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah.
Alison Brown: And you’re like, Pam, does that mean you’re renting out your house for la?
Jill Jaracz: Don’t know.
We’ll find out. We have a little bit of a follow-up file. We got this, uh, email that Borneo had an, an opening ceremony for ski mountaineering at their fan site in the town center.
Alison Brown: Why?
Jill Jaracz: I don’t know. They are so gung-ho over the schmo, gungho over schmo in Borneo. We have a, when I was at Borneo and I went into the tourist office to try to figure out where the fan site was.
They had little, like, stand them up display cards for like these ski mountaineers, which I took one and we now have it displayed in Stanhouse.
Alison Brown: Yes we do.
Jill Jaracz: But they had a little, , [00:05:00] music, they had a presentation of the competitions, a parade of flags. They had presentation of the athletes and it’s like, why did, why did ski mountaineering just get all of that?
Alison Brown: I guess ski mountaineering is very special.
Jill Jaracz: yeah, and they really want it to have a good first time. Maybe first and only time, who knows?
Alison Brown: I know it’s true. All the new sports are always on the chopping block after the first outing.
Jill Jaracz: We’ll see, and, and I gotta tell you, this is a not follow up file, but I had wanted to go to Borneo tomorrow.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: Because that is the long day of schmo. With the men’s and the women’s, but it starts at like nine in the morning and we have had alert after alert of it will be snowy, it will be, we’ve, we’ve had to fix the avalanche potential sites and I realize that a lot more snow is in Lao, but it is gonna snow in Borneo.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: And that will make it longer because traffic will be [00:06:00] slower.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: And. I don’t think I could get up any earlier.
Alison Brown: You couldn’t possibly get an earlier train. There isn’t an earlier train.
Jill Jaracz: Well, I think the first one is like at four 50, but then I realized you, you’re also dealing with the night bus to get to the train station because the metros aren’t running yet
Alison Brown: and the night buses are a little disconcerting.
To be honest.
Jill Jaracz: That’s a night bus.
Alison Brown: Exactly.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, see, I, I mean like, I don’t know. It’s just a bus that runs at night and I realized that there are a lot of people on it, and you get, you get different buses at night. I mean, I have been on buses where. In Chicago. It had been really late and somebody had started singing and the bus driver went, no, we are not doing that here.
Alison Brown: See? But that happens on the night bus.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah. But that’s, that’s the fun of the night bus.
Alison Brown: You
Jill Jaracz: say
Alison Brown: fun.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah. [00:07:00] Um, but anyway, I don’t need to find the night bus because not gonna go to bo meal for schmo this time the relays. Over the weekend because I am slowly letting Cortina slip through my fingers. Yeah. As much as I want to go.
Um, and they start at like one something that is a lot more doable.
Alison Brown: It is a lot less schmo, but
Jill Jaracz: it’s a lot less schmo. And I’m really worried that you go up there and you’re, you’re like at a competition for half an hour.
Alison Brown: But that’s okay.
Jill Jaracz: You know? You know why? What else gets me is that the transport app tells you when you arrive, but doesn’t tell you when you leave.
Alison Brown: Yeah.
Jill Jaracz: The schedule that we have in our big system, not that I could go find the schedule that you bought tickets off of, but the schedule in our system tells us when stuff starts. It doesn’t tell us when it ends. And that is driving me absolutely [00:08:00] bonkers.
Alison Brown: Well, it’ll be a surprise, surprise, schmo.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah, but I still wanna know, am I in for like 20 minutes of schmo or am I in for an, it’s not gonna be two hours, I can tell you that.
Alison Brown: No, it’s not. It’s a fast race.
Jill Jaracz: a Skimo baby on the feed. What officiating or volunteer job would you like to do?
Alison Brown: So you were at hockey this evening.
Jill Jaracz: Mm-hmm.
Alison Brown: And I don’t know if they did it at this game, but that a game that I was at earlier, part of the power break was actually wiping down the glass.
Jill Jaracz: Yes. We have seen this person.
Alison Brown: I, I am big on the glass wiper.
Jill Jaracz: Hmm.
Alison Brown: I want her job.
Jill Jaracz: There you go. Um. I liked, I cannot believe how efficient the, the getting out of Santa Julia is.
Alison Brown: Really?
Jill Jaracz: Oh my gosh. I was out of there in no time. First off, I could run down the media stairs.
Alison Brown: Yes,
Jill Jaracz: but they have [00:09:00] that. So well done. They now have stop and go signs, and I would like to be a stop and go sign holder because what they do is,
Alison Brown: yes,
Jill Jaracz: you funnel, explain
Alison Brown: this.
Jill Jaracz: You go out and there’s a couple of different exits and I just go out the straight one. There’s one to the right that would probably be a longer walk, but you go straight and you’re just kind of going into a, a, a channel basically. Uh. Corridor mob full of people, they have now blocked off one side for mo uh, limited mobility.
So those people have a little bit more free access to move around and not get jostled, which that’s good. And then the. They let people in to get on the buses. They, when the buses are full or looking like they’re full, they stop the channel from moving and we sit and wait until another round of buses comes, and then they flip the sign and say, go, and you proceed [00:10:00] calmly to a bus.
Like I, I don’t know if there’s people directing, but they’re like, just keep going. Just keep going. And. I was on the bus in like no time.
Alison Brown: Wow.
Jill Jaracz: And the ride was not bad. The ride is not bad.
Alison Brown: No,
Jill Jaracz: it’s not very long. Getting off getting off is not bad. We’ve all figured out how to wa well,
Alison Brown: most people have figured out how to walk appropriately.
Jill Jaracz: Some people did not. There’s a, a little stare in one little area just kind of on the patio and people are tripping on it. That’s pretty bad. But
Alison Brown: especially at night,
Jill Jaracz: the, the worst part was waiting for the two metros that
Alison Brown: I had to take. Hmm.
Jill Jaracz: It was great. I mean, they’ve really, uh, well-oiled machine on that.
Santa Julia. Nice shuttle. Very good job. You had a big day today. I’m dying to hear all about your trip.
Alison Brown: So I went up to Lina, which you did last week, but mine was a slightly different trip. Um, the first stop was the Palazzo Malta, which was a [00:11:00] 18th century house. Calling it a palace was. Grander than it is.
Jill Jaracz: Mm-hmm.
Alison Brown: But it is incredibly grand because all of the, uh, walls and ceilings of Trump, Lowell painting.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, nice.
Alison Brown: So beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And the whole first floor has been restored and the second floor hasn’t. Oh, wow. So there was somebody living there until 1979.
Jill Jaracz: Okay. Mine Palazzo also had somebody living there for a very long time,
Alison Brown: and I don’t know how they lived there.
’cause the first floor has no heat.
Jill Jaracz: Bundle. Did the fireplaces work?
Alison Brown: There’s only one fireplace downstairs.
Jill Jaracz: Maybe they just got portable heaters.
Alison Brown: I don’t know what was happening there, but we did see the. 1970s kitchen, which actually looked like a 19.
Jill Jaracz: Please tell me you took pictures.
Alison Brown: I did not take pictures of the 19 ki of the kitchen simply because I was very worried about my, uh, phone battery.
Jill Jaracz: Oh,
Alison Brown: yeah. It was, it [00:12:00] was going fast. Oh, no. So, yes. Was it
Jill Jaracz: cold?
Alison Brown: It was very cold. Oh, so it was going a little faster than I appreciated at that early, at the, in the day. So I did not, but the kitchen was actually something more like something out of the 1920s.
Jill Jaracz: Oh my gosh.
Alison Brown: It didn’t look seventies at all. It looked much, much older than that.
Jill Jaracz: Wow.
Alison Brown: So that was the beautiful, and we walked through the very old town of Moreno where the church is from like the 13 hundreds, and the main cathedrals from the 16 hundreds. We went to a shop that has been in a family for four generations, and we went down to the cheese cellar and we went down to the wine cellar.
Oh my gosh. And they, there’s a particular kind of cheese there called Beto.
Jill Jaracz: Yes. It’s good.
Alison Brown: You can only get it. From this one region because it’s where they bring the cows in the summer, only in the summer, and they can age it for up to 10 years. Wild. So he’s like, oh yeah, this wheel is from [00:13:00] 2017 and this one’s from 2019.
Jill Jaracz: Did you get to try different ages?
Alison Brown: We did get to try different ages.
Jill Jaracz: Could you tell a difference?
Alison Brown: Oh, you could definitely tell a difference.
Jill Jaracz: Oh
Alison Brown: really? Yes.
Jill Jaracz: What, what’s the difference?
Alison Brown: The, the. Creamy, the dryness level, creamy versus creaminess. So the younger cheese was much creamier and the older cheese was much drier and also much more pungent, a much stronger flavor.
The longer that it aged. And then we had matching wines, which also. Were age different.
Jill Jaracz: Oh really?
Alison Brown: That’s nice Amounts also of Lina wine. So we had a gentle wine and a stronger wine, and then the crazy strong wine.
Jill Jaracz: I’m glad. I’m glad I had the late hockey game to let you cool off.
Alison Brown: Yes, because not only did we have that, then we had lunch, which also had three wines.
Oh my God. I did not drink all of these wines. Each course had a wine with it.
Jill Jaracz: Wow.
Alison Brown: And we had special Lina specialties, [00:14:00] which were buckwheat pasta.
Jill Jaracz: Okay.
Alison Brown: With cabbage and potato and butter, of course. Which was amazing. And then this stew like. Dish. Also had potatoes, also had cheese, also had butter. Also had some vegetables mixed in and little buckwheat pancakes to go with that.
Jill Jaracz: Ooh.
Alison Brown: So there was a lot of buckwheat and a lot of potato. So that seems to be a big base. So their pasta doesn’t taste like. What you would think of as pasta, it tastes buckwheat, which gives it a totally different texture and it’s really good, but it definitely sticks to your ribs. This was mountain food.
But here’s, here’s the highlight. They took us to, I wanna get the name right, Ponte Cello, which is Bridge in the Sky, which is the highest Tibetan style [00:15:00] suspension bridge in all of Europe. Don’t ask me how high it is ’cause I didn’t look down,
Jill Jaracz: but I appreciate the fact that you’re calling this the highlight.
Because you have been frightened of this bridge.
Alison Brown: I have been frightened of this bridge. I walked across the bridge and I walked back across the bridge.
Jill Jaracz: Very nice.
Alison Brown: Yes. And on the other side of the bridge, they gave us more wine. This was hot mold.
Jill Jaracz: Oh.
Alison Brown: Spiced wine. That the man who lives on the other side of the bridge and is kind of the caretaker for these buildings, um, who lives there with Musa, the sheep dog.
Jill Jaracz: Okay.
Alison Brown: Very
Jill Jaracz: nice
Alison Brown: is Shepherd. EI don’t know what kind of dog, but she was a dog that wanted love from everyone and expect, you know, you needed to pay the scratch tax for this dog, which I completely appreciated. So he made us wine and kind of like a fruitcake, again, one of these [00:16:00] specialties, okay, in, in the Lina Valley where it was dried fruit and nuts in, in this dense fruitcake, which was delicious with the mold wine.
Now again, did not drink my entire portion ’cause I had to walk back across that suspension bridge.
Jill Jaracz: Well, it would’ve given you courage.
Alison Brown: Then they wanted to stop and take pictures of everyone on the bridge. I said, no thank you. I will remember this. I’m just gonna keep walking. So I took the group photo that was taken with a drone.
Jill Jaracz: Oh my gosh.
Alison Brown: So I’ll publish that when I get it tomorrow. I’ll share that with everybody on the Facebook group. Um, but I did not stick around for the individual shots. I just said, I’m going to keep walking across this bridge. Don’t make me stand here. The bridge is moving. It’s ways it bounces.
Jill Jaracz: I’m proud of you.
That’s good. That’s a good step.
Alison Brown: And this was the funniest part for me. I get across the bridge, I’m having my walled wine, and I hear someone talking and I say, [00:17:00] I know that accent. Where are you from? New Jersey.
Jill Jaracz: Oh my gosh.
Alison Brown: I am in the middle of the Lina Valley across the highest suspension bridge in all of Europe.
And I just run into some guy from Jersey, so chasing and Alessandro at my new friends from New Jersey pop up. And uh, that was the wildest moment of the day where I was just like, how did I come halfway around the world and just, you know, run into tri-state area Friends. But it was a lot of food and a lot of wine.
Oh my goodness. If I had drunk all of the wine that was offered to me, I would still be a blathering idiot more so than I am. But I did have more people tell me they thought they knew me. I had two more people say, I’ve met you before, haven’t I? No, [00:18:00] I, I, no. So apparently there’s like 497 of me. One in every country around the world.
Jill Jaracz: You never know. They could be listeners of the podcast.
Alison Brown: Well, hello doppelgangers,
Jill Jaracz: but Val is really lovely. Was it snowy there or was it just cold?
Alison Brown: It was cold. It wasn’t snowy. There was some snow on the ground and certainly where we were for the bridge. There was snow on the ground, but it wasn’t snowy.
Jill Jaracz: Okay.
Alison Brown: It was just. Very high up of Twisty Mountain Road that we had to drive where Tilda, who was such a lovely host,
Jill Jaracz: isn’t, she
Alison Brown: offered us plastic bags if we needed them.
Jill Jaracz: Wow.
Alison Brown: That’s how windy this road was. Wow. But thankfully nobody needed to take her up on the offer,
Jill Jaracz: but lovely trip. Thank you Velina to Oh,
Alison Brown: very much.
And here’s the best part. Free bottle of wine is a gift.
Jill Jaracz: Very nice. What [00:19:00] kind?
Alison Brown: Lina Wine? I don’t know. It’s something special from And local.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, I did a lot of hospitality today.
Alison Brown: You were a cultural moment to your, onto yourself.
Jill Jaracz: Yes. So I went, hello Jason from Casa Airbnb. He invited us in. Both. You went earlier.
I went today. Um, this is right up there with Korea. I think these two. Are the best houses I’ve been in so far.
Alison Brown: Oh, cost. Airbnb is fantastic.
Jill Jaracz: It’s unbelievable how much effort they’ve put in for free experience. That’s the, the really great thing. And you get, uh, like you said a little, I had a pistachio cream croissant.
I had a little, which looked
Alison Brown: lovely.
Jill Jaracz: Pineapple juice. Wandered around this. And I will say hospitality houses are more fun when you have at least one other person to be there with, unless people are up and talking. [00:20:00] But I was hanging out with Jason for a while and he was showing me around and telling me all about what Airbnb is.
Really trying to figure out what their top partnership, because I, I don’t know how much like guidelines they get from the IOC except for maybe don’t do this, but it’s, I mean, don’t
Alison Brown: embarrass us.
Jill Jaracz: Well, I, and I mean like. It’s hard because every other sponsorship you get advertising on the field of play and this is not that.
And so you gotta figure out what to do. But by golly did they lean hard into creating an experience and, and hanging out with people. And he was telling me he got to run with a torch. He got to do the torch relay
Alison Brown: nice.
Jill Jaracz: And uh, they had so many spots because they’re a top sponsor, so they had hosts. It was either this one or in Paris.
One of ’em they’ve had, they’ve had hosts that they selected saying, thank you for being a host, have a have a torch run. Why [00:21:00] not? And uh, yeah, beautiful space. Like you said, multiple buildings, a fire pit, um, a little curling station. They had little air hockey. They have multiple TVs with multiple feeds. You can, uh, get a tote bag.
That’s, uh, screen pressed right there.
Alison Brown: Uh, it’s very funny you say that because on the day that I was there, the woman was not giving people tote bags. Really? She was being very re reserved with her giving of the tote bags, with the, the
Jill Jaracz: wow. Okay. With the
Alison Brown: photo press,
Jill Jaracz: I have a tote bag and I made a little pin.
You could sit down and color a pin. That was really cool. I traded. Pins with two little kids.
Alison Brown: Oh,
Jill Jaracz: nice. Who they were. This was their first trade. They just like discovered trading. So it was like, okay, let, uh, you know, you need to trade. Put my pi, you know, they’ll take a Polaroid of you and then you put your picture on a little card and write a little note, and they tack it up to where you’re from.
So the, the [00:22:00] world map is just full of photos and it’s, it is just such a cool experience. The music was great. Yes. It was just a really cool vibe, beautiful aesthetics. It was such a good hangout.
Alison Brown: We might have to go back again before we’re done for the week. Maybe we’ll do that Friday morning.
Jill Jaracz: Um, then I went to, uh, Casa Slovakia, which is, I, I, I would say this is more along the lines of Casa Brazil.
Mm-hmm. Where it’s. A small team and they have a, a place, a beautiful location with like this. Um, the interior roof is along the lines of the Grand Pal. You know, it’s got that the light can come in and kind of stuff up there. It’s just a gorgeous, gorgeous space. Um, they’ve got a little. Virtual reality [00:23:00] game.
You could take a little, uh, Olympics quiz. They’ve got some stuff about their Olympics. Um, uh, let me find this while I talk. Um, but the big thing was a big screen and we’re watching the hockey game ’cause they’re playing, which was fun because they scored a goal while I was there.
Alison Brown: Oh,
Jill Jaracz: that must have been a party.
And that was great. That was really fun. They had a bar. And all the beer was like 11% or higher, so there was no beer. But then after I got, I got some meat, some meat sausage, snack
Alison Brown: of some kind.
Jill Jaracz: Yes. And then as I’m eating it, I see there’s a little restaurant to the side. So that was kind of a bummer ’cause I wasn’t gonna do both of those.
And, um, like they were showing a, a, a screening of a new movie. Huh? Yeah. So in, in check about some kind of champion, but it was really, really cool if you’re, uh, check, I’m sorry. [00:24:00] I’m trying to figure out how to go back. They were showing a, a movie of, a screening, an they were gonna show an advanced screening of a movie about some champion.
Some Slovak thing. The, uh, I did take a picture of the tourism slogan,
which is Travel to Slovakia. Good idea.
Alison Brown: It is a good idea.
Jill Jaracz: It’s near, Slovak is near and full of surprises, so maybe, maybe consider traveling. But it was a nice little place for people to hang out who were Slovak. I got a little flag. I got the little, it’s like a,
Alison Brown: a fan.
Jill Jaracz: It’s, it looks like a folded fan, but you’re supposed to.
It’s a little clapper.
Alison Brown: Oh, okay. I thought you supposed to hit me with it.
Jill Jaracz: No, no, I hit you. You hit it on yourself and Oh, it makes more noise so that you can cheer louder for Slovakia. And I, I did [00:25:00] not take, but I saw them and I think they were up for grabs the little makeup for your cheeks.
Alison Brown: Oh, nice.
Jill Jaracz: And the red, white and blue.
So that was cool. I, I didn’t stay there very long because it was obviously a house for.
Alison Brown: The fans.
Jill Jaracz: The fans. Um,
Alison Brown: then you went to Casa Corona?
Jill Jaracz: I went to Casa Corona ’cause it was in the neighborhood and I saw it. Casa Corona’s a pop-up restaurant.
Alison Brown: Gotcha.
Jill Jaracz: That’s, it was, you know, it was cool looking, but it was basically a pop-up restaurant, nothing, no great shakes there.
Um, then I went over to Clubhouse while I came home and did laundry. ’cause having a laundry situation where all I got is pants that are too warm for walking outside in Milan. And, uh. Then I went to Clubhouse 26.
Alison Brown: And did you go to both Clubhouse 20 sixes?
Jill Jaracz: I started in the museum,
Alison Brown: yes.
Jill Jaracz: And because it’s two buildings that are on each.
Side of the ELA pache [00:26:00] and they used to be the tax collection buildings for when, uh, people had to travel through there. And the, so they’re kind of big, lofty grand spaces, but not super big. The first building is a now Museum of Olympic stuff.
Alison Brown: All borrowed from Lausanne?
Jill Jaracz: Yes. All carefully curated. It’s pretty nice, you know, it’s kind of fun to walk through a little bit and you see, you see
Alison Brown: all the medals.
Jill Jaracz: All the metals. You see some posters, you see other, some artifacts and then, and uh, a lot of, uh, pictures and things like that. Um, there’s, you can take a picture with mascot. You can take a picture with the rings. You can take a pictures
Alison Brown: in an ice cube.
Jill Jaracz: You can take a picture in the ice cube. Sort of. I almost knocked stuff over trying to get into the ice cube.
Um, there is a little. Booth. It’s one of those booths where you, [00:27:00] um, stand inside and air comes up from the bottom and you, they put paper on the bottom and you try to grab as much paper as you can and you get pins when you get out.
Alison Brown: See, that was not running during my event. I did not see that.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, that was fun.
Alison Brown: Disappointed.
Jill Jaracz: I am. I have a couple pins now. And then once you’re done in that building, you walk across the plaza in front of the cauldron. Get a nice view of the cauldron and then you go over to the bar side. And I, I did have the Russian salad a couple times, but they were more plying me with another little bite in the, uh, in the, the list of past appetizers where it was the one with the, the cured meat on top.
Alison Brown: Oh, yes.
Jill Jaracz: Which I enjoyed very much.
Alison Brown: See, I loved the little Russian salad piece.
Jill Jaracz: It was, it was better than the Russian salad we had the other day
Alison Brown: because their Russian salad didn’t have tuna.
Jill Jaracz: That is correct.
Alison Brown: It was just [00:28:00] the salad portion of Russian salad.
Jill Jaracz: I will say about the clubhouse, um, I think it would get full pretty quickly.
Alison Brown: Mm.
Jill Jaracz: Because it was starting to fill up and like, Ooh, I’m one person at a four top. I don’t really wanna be that person taking up an entire table. And, um. But what I liked about it is that it felt comfortable. And they had a little terrace outside, not terrace, uh, patio seating, which I, I saw late in the game.
They had a store in there, but there wasn’t much in the store that was unique or special. And they had a little, it tucked away in one room. They had a shuffleboard table. Huh. Which would’ve been a lot of fun. Yeah. I did have the, uh, frozen. Lemon cello, spritz.
Alison Brown: Oh, that sounds lovely.
Jill Jaracz: And I, I had something, I had another, I think I had a regular Aperol spritz as well.
And yeah, like I said, it, it just felt really comfortable. So one of, it’s one of those places where [00:29:00] when you’re in a foreign country and you just get really, like, I’m done with the foreign stuff for a moment, I need to. You know, I need to just relax and decompress in something I know, and this was kind of that space.
Alison Brown: And you know, I would say Casa Airbnb also is also in that category. Yes. That it feels very, I don’t wanna say it feels very American, but it feels very familiar and comfortable. Mm-hmm. And you don’t have to think about. How things work. Mm-hmm. You know how things work.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So it was very nice.
The only thing I would say to our good friends at On location is that they had the feed up and you could watch, but when stuff was over, they, I, it must’ve been, they had live feed.
Alison Brown: Mm.
Jill Jaracz: And what they need is live feed and replays, because once the feed was done for that moment and you’re waiting for the next competition to begin, it’s nonstop kind of like.[00:30:00]
Here’s the pictograms, here’s an, you know, here’s something else that’s not interesting or kind of an ad thing. I, if they had replays, it would, it would be awesome. And it doesn’t even matter what day it is because nobody knows what day it is anymore. You could just replay stuff all the time.
Alison Brown: You could replay things from day seven and people would be excited ’cause they just would not know the difference.
Jill Jaracz: That is correct. So good time. Wandering around and, and getting hospitable. But it, it is interesting to see the different types of houses.
Alison Brown: Mm-hmm.
Jill Jaracz: And, uh, what you can and cannot do. But, uh, we’ve got results coming up. But first we would like to take a moment to thank everybody who’s donated to our fundraiser to get us here, to Milano Cortina, to share with you what it is like to be here at the games.
If you have just found us, we’re doing 32 daily episodes from Italy over the course of both the Olympics and Paralympics. It’s expensive to produce. We had a whole bunch of, uh. Listeners [00:31:00] chip in and get us here, which we’re beyond grateful for, but we’re one of the few podcasts to publish episodes about the Olympics and Paralympics year round.
So we need some help keeping our flame alive. You can, if you appreciate the coverage we’re bringing to you, go to flame alive pod.com/support and you can see all the options that are available there. We got some results.
Alison Brown: We do. We start with Alpine, which was some pretty exciting results, I must say. It
Jill Jaracz: was exciting.
Yeah. ’cause I got to see some of this.
Alison Brown: Yeah. So this was WIL Women’s Slalom and Gold went to American Michaela Schiffrin Silver went to Camille Rast from Switzerland and Bronze went to Anna Sven Larson from Sweden. So this is Michaela’s third gold medal. Yeah. And we’re all very relieved because the press is always on her back after what happened at Beijing.
Jill Jaracz: Mm-hmm. Well, uh, one of the press releases I set saw was like, it’s our [00:32:00] first Olympic gold medal in eight years.
Alison Brown: Oh
Jill Jaracz: yeah. I know. I just, I, this
Alison Brown: is,
Jill Jaracz: I don’t love that. I mean, Beijing was hard.
Alison Brown: This is the most successful woman ever was successful skier ever. Mm-hmm. On the World Cup circuit, and we just keep knocking what happened at Beijing.
Calm down people
Jill Jaracz: I know, although I’ve read something in the Wall Street Journal, a little kind of opinion column and said, you know, if she was great all the time, she wouldn’t be as interesting because she’s had this kind of fall and rise again. That that helps us relate to her and root for her. But I mean.
She seems like a lovely person
Alison Brown: and she certainly probably, I mean certainly in the mix for greatest of all time.
Jill Jaracz: Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. Um, did you see what happened to Lena Durra from Germany?
Alison Brown: I did not. This did not get to catch up
Jill Jaracz: on on. Okay. She was second going into the second run. [00:33:00] She straddled the first gate.
Alison Brown: Oh,
Jill Jaracz: and it was just crushing to see that instantly your Olympics are over,
Alison Brown: as is Alpine.
Jill Jaracz: So, um, when I was looking through the, the random quotes that they, uh, that the Olympic Information Service gets for us, they had talked to Paula Malon from the US who was talking about the negative publicity surrounding Schiffrin, and she said, you know, you don’t have the perfect run and we get ripped apart by the people that sit on the couch.
And that sucks. And I take that to heart because we are the people on the couch. You, me, listeners, and. I am trying really hard to not say, Hey, you should get, like, don’t wanna put those expectations on people. Now that we’ve done this show and we’ve talked to so many people and we know how hard it is, much harder than you realize when you’re just on the couch [00:34:00] and don’t listen to a podcast that tells you what’s going on in the background, but.
Alison Brown: It is very easy to be very judgmental. Mm-hmm. And I myself am certainly very judgmental about a lot of things. Try hard not to be judgmental about the athlete’s performance.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah.
Alison Brown: You know, but if they say stupid things and cheat on their girlfriends, then I’m gonna judge them.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, sterol Reed, what have you done? Oh, now that means that alpine skiing is over for this Olympic Games and it’s, it’s kind of wild. There are many sports that are already over, and you, you really start feeling that. We’re getting towards the end,
Alison Brown: but schmo is yet to
Jill Jaracz: begin. I know, I know. A biathlon. We had the women’s four by six kilometer relay today.
France won gold. They have won all of the relay gold medals for this Olympics. Silver went to Sweden and bronze went to [00:35:00] Norway, and uh, Deidre Irwin was on our team. USA finished 18th.
Alison Brown: Sweden has been quite successful as well.
Jill Jaracz: I don’t wanna say surprisingly so, ’cause usually they’re very strong, but they’ve been kind of pushed to the side almost by France and Norway.
And we’ve had a couple of medals and I think if I read correctly, HANA Oberg really, really crushed it on her leg at the race.
Alison Brown: There’s a shocker,
Jill Jaracz: which is, well, it’s good to hear because she’s had some ups and downs. Yeah. And when, you know, when she was bursting onto the scene in. Pyeongchang, she was a surprise gold medalist.
And, you know, hasn’t, I don’t wanna say, hasn’t done much since, but like, the results just haven’t been the same as that first. Wow.
Alison Brown: Right.
Jill Jaracz: but it’s just, I mean, biathlons a tough sport.
Alison Brown: It’s different every day, as we’ve
Jill Jaracz: heard. That’s right. Uh, moving over to curling, we had women’s round robin, so I saw a little bit of the Denmark [00:36:00] China game, which Denmark was up six, one after three ends.
And then China had five unanswered points over the next four ends. So then it was back and forth and Denmark got the hammer in the final end and that was it. They made it work and beat China eight to seven. So that was a, that was a fun game to watch. Great Britain beat USA eight to seven. Korea beat Sweden, eight to three, and
sweden beat Denmark. Six four Canada beat Italy eight seven, and China beat Sweden nine four. So right now the women’s standings are, Sweden is seven and two. SW Switzerland is six and two, they have both qualified to move on to the uh. Knockout rounds, Canada, Korea, and the US were all five and three. Great Britain is four and four.
Denmark is four and five. China is two and six. Uh, Italy is also two and six, and apparently Stephania had [00:37:00] a viral scream. Tonight.
Alison Brown: We’ll have to look that up.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah, I, I tried to look it up in the curling, in the hockey venue. I couldn’t hear anything over the, over the loudspeakers. And then Japan is one and seven, so it’s kind of safe to say that those last three teams are not moving on at all.
But we got some
Alison Brown: whole middle group there that depending on how tomorrow goes
Jill Jaracz: right,
Alison Brown: will, will make the difference.
Jill Jaracz: And I do appreciate, uh, Stefania constant, uh, constant. Uh. Saying how she likes to fuel up for a day’s worth of curling cold pizza for breakfast.
Alison Brown: I’m with you Stephania. I don’t see the problem there
Jill Jaracz: In the men’s round.
Robin Canada, beat Italy. Eight three Czechia, beat China, ten five Switzerland, beat Norway, ten four and Great Britain beat us nine to two. These are huge spreads.
Alison Brown: These are crazy scores. You know, in the women’s matches. Most of them are. 1.2 points and then you get to the men’s and it’s, you [00:38:00] know, nine to two.
Wow. What is going on?
Jill Jaracz: Wild? Uh, the men’s standing Switzerland still undefeated at eight. No, Canada is seven and one. Those two teams have qualified for the knockout rounds. Great. Britain is five and four. Italy, Norway are four and four US is four and five. Germany is three and five. And China, Czechia and Sweden are two and six.
So I’m glad that every team has won a game
Alison Brown: at least. Yeah. ’cause that’s always disappointing when you go winless at this point. Okay.
Jill Jaracz: Moving over to cross country. We had the team sprints today for the women. Gold went to Sweden, silver went to Switzerland, and bronze went to Germany.
Alison Brown: Talk about the most important thing that
Jill Jaracz: happened in this
Alison Brown: race that I know
Jill Jaracz: well, Jesse Diggins and our Chuk Lesi, Julia Kern finished fifth.
Alison Brown: Okay. That’s great.
Jill Jaracz: The funny thing was that during the qualification rounds, a local dog broke out of [00:39:00] his doghouse and he got onto the course and ran around,
Alison Brown: finished
Jill Jaracz: third. He did not finish. Third, he finished further down than that. So the dog is two year, 2-year-old Nagu, a Czechoslovakian wolf dog. And, uh, he didn’t like the owners leaving him that day.
So he got out and said, I’m finding you. ’cause I think they’re there at the, at the venue. And, uh, it crossed the finish line with Constantina, uh, Charles Lump. Uh. From Greece and suddenly she said like, oh, I’m getting asked for interviews now. Because of the dog.
Alison Brown: What was it like finishing with the dog?
Jill Jaracz: Right.
Alison Brown: But yes, if you have not seen this viral video, you have to watch it because it is echoes of that other viral video where the dog was on the Alpine course and they had to hold the race until they could catch the dog. This dog just ran down that last [00:40:00] stretch, crossed the finish line, and then was out of the way.
So they didn’t have, it didn’t disrupt the race, but it’s a great video and everybody got a big kick out of nozzle. Just making a, a, a little appearance there, but I love the reasoning
Jill Jaracz: Yeah.
Alison Brown: Behind, yeah. N School’s appearance that she did not like being left behind.
Jill Jaracz: Um, I, I think, if I remember correctly, it’s around the 24 minute mark, 24 28 minute mark in that qualification round for the men’s team.
Sprint cold went to Norway. Surprise because Johannes Clay Ball is. On that team won another gold medal. I think he’s up to 10 total. He’s up up to
Alison Brown: 427. Okay.
Jill Jaracz: Silver though. Went to Ben Ogden and our Gus shoe marker.
Bronze went to Italy. So K Clay Bo has five golds and five events,
Alison Brown: as you will when [00:41:00] you’re Johannes Kbo.
Jill Jaracz: He is a machine.
Alison Brown: He really is.
But you know who got silver?
Jill Jaracz: Gosh, shoe marker. .
Alison Brown: Shuk Stan.
Jill Jaracz: In freestyle, we had women’s aerials. They were able to get the competition off thanks to the snow. And, and I was reading a little bit about the other, part of the problems with the snow are they need helicopters to have visibility in case they need to take a competitor off the off the course.
Alison Brown: And if you’ve got helicopters that can’t fly in the snow.
Jill Jaracz: Or they can’t see it in the snow, so you don’t want them flying. Uh, but we did get women’s aerials done today. Gold went to China’s JM Tao, who is a repeat gold, the first person ever to do that in aerials. She is 35 years old and a five time Olympian.
Alison Brown: I mean, that’s the crazy part that she’s 35 and has already done this five times.
I mean, she was,
Jill Jaracz: Ariel’s is, is no [00:42:00] joke on. Landing and stuff.
Alison Brown: Yeah. That she’s held up that long in this sport is, is pretty in any sport, is pretty impressive. But in this especially.
Jill Jaracz: And then silver went to Danielle Scott from Australia, who is in Olympics number four and finally got a medal
Alison Brown: and yet another medal for Australia.
They’re having quite a games.
Jill Jaracz: And then bro went to Xochi from China. Um, the and, and China is showing up today. That’s clearly, that’s, that was an interesting thing. They’ll, I think they show up again in a different competition as well. The men’s aerials has been postponed until February 20th, so two days from now.
Ice hockey, we had the men’s quarterfinals. Yeah, man, this was something, so Slovakia beat Germany six to two, which was not anywhere near the score when I left Slovak house. Uh, Finland beat [00:43:00] Switzerland. Three to two. They’re at row. They are playing some games at Rowe.
Alison Brown: Yes. So there’s a, there’s a handful of the men’s games.
A handful, like three that are happening over at Rowe, but still.
Jill Jaracz: And then, uh, Canada Beat. Oh, and Finland’s game was in overtime. And then Canada beat Czechia four three in overtime and the US beat Sweden two one in overtime. This was just a wild, wild night.
Alison Brown: That’s a lot of overtime.
Jill Jaracz: It is. Well, and I didn’t know the overtime rules that are different because overtime is a 10 minute period, sudden death.
So whoever scores first wins three on three plus a goalie.
Alison Brown: Yes.
Jill Jaracz: So,
Alison Brown: which is very stressful.
Jill Jaracz: It, it, it is. I walked into the Canada Checka game in the third period [00:44:00] and I did not realize that Sidney Crosby exited, he had an, uh, injury today and, um, he got injured in the second period was ruled out of the game.
Um, but they looked sloppy. Everything looked sloppy. And I don’t think that’s all. Like Sidney Crosby not being on the ice would have changed that.
Alison Brown: Remember what I said about putting Sidney Crosby in bubble wrap? Clearly that was needed.
Jill Jaracz: So when he comes off the ice, he wraps up in bubble wrap, and then when he comes back on for his
Alison Brown: lines, no, on the ice, he needs to be bubble wrap because let me tell you, he could probably still score twice as many goals as most anybody else,
Jill Jaracz: so.
Canada, I believe, was down when I got there and Chea was winning and, and I thought, what happens if Chea wins? This would be
Alison Brown: huge.
Jill Jaracz: Unreal. And, and [00:45:00] probable it could, it could happen. So Canada scored. Pretty close to the end to tie it up. And then in the sudden death, they won pretty quickly, which was, uh, exciting.
And then the US versus Sweden happened and the Olympic Information Service or something on the Olympic side said this wasn’t a very, or the beginning started off really rough and they were kind of sloppy or whatever. The passing was so much better. For both teams, and I think they just, whoever wrote this article thought, oh, each team only has two 10 shots on goal.
That’s not what we expected from two all NHL teams, except for the fact that they’re all NHL, so their defense is gonna be good too.
Alison Brown: Right?
Jill Jaracz: So it was really, really fun to watch [00:46:00] us scored, uh, fairly quickly. Sweden could not get on the board until less than two minutes left in the game.
Alison Brown: Insanity.
Jill Jaracz: It was. It was. And the Swedes fans were so excited.
So we had to go to overtime,
Alison Brown: which is always the best.
Jill Jaracz: Right. And it, it’s just, it ended pretty quickly. I will say that not instantly, but us got the goal.
Alison Brown: So we’ll have the semifinals on Friday, and that’s gonna be Canada, Finland, and US Slovakia.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, wow.
Alison Brown: Yeah,
Jill Jaracz: it’s gonna be good. Uh, they finally got Tina.
Dancing to jump around
Alison Brown: as they should have had this whole time. Who did not think of that?
Jill Jaracz: I don’t know. Whoever was in charge of the whole in venue stuff because it’s, it [00:47:00] is just not clicking. Because karaoke song was Imagine.
Alison Brown: Oh, that’s
Jill Jaracz: terrible. Why would you have Imagine as your karaoke song
Alison Brown: that’s so depressing.
Jill Jaracz: Um. It was a chippy game.
Alison Brown: Oh, of course
Jill Jaracz: it was. If you was, oh my gosh. They were really at each other. I did also did not realize that, uh, Victor Hedman, who is Sweden’s alternate captain, and uh, one of their top defensemen was dressed for the game, but he had an injury in warmup, so he did not play at all. So very sad to see the goalie just be like, oh, I can’t believe this is it.
And, and, uh. The US had not beat Sweden at all in
eight previous meetings with them.
Alison Brown: Wow.
Jill Jaracz: Dating back to 1960.
Alison Brown: Wow. That’s impressive.
Jill Jaracz: Also shows how the brackets go for a lot. [00:48:00]
Alison Brown: They don’t often face Sweden apparently.
Jill Jaracz: But, uh, we’re setting up for some good matches for the hockey finals. Short track speed skating happened tonight. Men’s 500, Steven Dubois from Canada won gold.
He also has a s silver medal at these games. And then silver and bronze went to, uh, the Van Oot brothers, uh, Mela got from Netherlands. Mela got the silver and Yenz got the bronze. I did note, I did watch this on the feed. That that drone cannot keep up with these skaters?
Alison Brown: Well, I don’t know if the drone knows what it wants to do in the short track because it is such a small surf.
You know, it makes more sense to use the drone in the larger areas where the regular camera angles don’t work well or you have missing spots, whereas short track, you really don’t have any missing spots. So I don’t know if the drone. Is unclear on its purpose [00:49:00] other than I’m a drone and I’m here and I like to buzz.
Jill Jaracz: Right. And get I, I mean, I can see in there different, different camera angle or trying to get POV or something. But
Alison Brown: you can’t get
Jill Jaracz: close. It’s not yet. That one’s not, that one is not working yet.
Alison Brown: Yes. But the sliders, that’s a great
Jill Jaracz: drone. The sliding and the skiing there, there’s a lot of really great drone usage.
Alison Brown: Yeah.
Jill Jaracz: Then we had the 3000 meter relay for the women. Gold went to Korea, silver to Italy, bronzed to Canada. Italy was in the lead with three laps to go, and then Korea got a good final push and they drafted for just long enough and did this great move and took the lead. And that was it with not that much time left.
Um. But Italy did get a silver, which means Ariana Fontana now has 14 medals in her Olympic career. She’s tied for second of all time behind, uh, mark Borgen, and she’s [00:50:00] tied with Ole Eer Bjorn Dalin,
Alison Brown: which is no joke. I mean, this is, this is the echelons of history,
Jill Jaracz: right,
Alison Brown: that we’re, that she’s hanging out with,
Jill Jaracz: which it is incredible when somebody has that kind of longevity and.
We do say this a lot, that we get kind of enraptured with the number of medals that people have, but there’s so many sports where they don’t have the opportunity to get more than one,
Alison Brown: right?
Jill Jaracz: So take it with a grain of salt. But you know, having a sustained performance for that many events,
Alison Brown: right? It’s not that she’s won six in one games, she’s done this since 2006.
Which is,
Jill Jaracz: that’s so amazing.
Alison Brown: Which it’s ridiculous.
Jill Jaracz: Uh, team keep the flame alive. Corin Stoddard was in the B final. That team got the, got a penalty and that was it. Oh,
Alison Brown: it’s
Jill Jaracz: what a way to just Poor Corin has had a, uh, a really tough [00:51:00] game.
Alison Brown: I mean, team USA short track has had a tough game. Yes. Penalties, falls just not together.
For whatever reason on, on the track this time. And that happens. I mean, for whatever reason they, they’re having a rough tournament.
Jill Jaracz: Yeah. So hopefully you can regroup and learn and, and grow stronger.
Over in snowboard, we had the men’s slope style gold went to China’s Sue Ying Happy 22nd birthday. Here’s a gold medal for you.
Alison Brown: Nice. I don’t need no stinking cake. I will take the medal.
Jill Jaracz: This was Chyna’s first Gold of the Games. He earned it on the first run, which is pretty amazing. Silver went to, uh, Taiga Hasagawa from Japan, and bronze went to Jake Cantor from the us.
The women’s slopestyle also ran today because it was rescheduled from yesterday due to Snow Gold went to, uh, Mari Ada from Japan. Silver went to Zoe Sadowsky senate, who was the [00:52:00] defending champion, and bronze went to Kokomo Marsi. From Japan who had won the big air and was bummed about getting bronze because her goal was two golds.
Alison Brown: Where? Where was Zoe? Sadowski Senate from
Jill Jaracz: New Zealand.
Alison Brown: Go. Silver Ferns.
Jill Jaracz: There you go. And that is the day’s competition.
Alison Brown: That’s been quite a day.
Jill Jaracz: It has been quite a day.
Alison Brown: So we’ve got three days left. Yes. Four days wait. What day is today?
Jill Jaracz: I have no idea because the clock is gonna say one day and my brain is still on the other day.
Alison Brown: So we have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Jill Jaracz: Yes.
Alison Brown: Okay. So we have four days of competition left.
Jill Jaracz: Wow. Wow. And who’s gonna be competing for Shukla on?
Alison Brown: So tomorrow Amber Glen will be in the women’s free skate and hopefully I will be there.
Jill Jaracz: Go Amber.
Alison Brown: Let’s take it on, man. Right. Let’s take it on. [00:53:00]
Jill Jaracz: Uh, we have some shout outs that we’d like to say
Alison Brown: yes to.
Lisa Brown from Eastchester New York,
Jill Jaracz: and by Lisa Brown you mean
Alison Brown: my sister.
Jill Jaracz: Thank you, Lisa. And that’s kind of like Lisa Brown Miller from the USA who played ice hockey in 1998 and won gold when the women debuted in the Olympics, which is pretty cool.
Alison Brown: Our second shout out is for Sandy Dewald from Nashville, Tennessee.
Jill Jaracz: Sandy, long time listener. Sandy’s been around for a long, long time, so thank you for sticking with us, Sandy, and there are no Sandy dewald necessarily, but there is a sandy chick who is from Zimbabwe. Was on that hockey team that went to Moscow in 1980 and was like, they got in because, uh, the boycott happened and all these boycotted teams were not in the hockey tournament.
So Zimbabwe got in there and then they won gold. What a story.
Alison Brown: I love that story. [00:54:00]
Jill Jaracz: And that’s gonna do it for this episode. If you want even more of the most fun coverage of the games, hit us up. We are@flamealivepod.com. That is your source for our socials and newsletter and direct ways to contact with with us.
And be sure to tune in tomorrow for what we forgot to tell you about today. And there’s probably something. Because I’m exhausted.
Alison Brown: I just thought of something.
Jill Jaracz: Oh, good. Good. So we got something for that list. Tune in to find out
Alison Brown: and until next time, chow And keep the flame alive.
