With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.

Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

Meanwhile, since this was on Kenworthy’s personal social media and didn’t refer to Team GB, apparently not a matter for the IOC. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

With apologies for one more news story about a certain part of the anatomy so far these Games.
