Cortina d'Ampezzo is special to me: This village in the Italian Alps was a skiing destination for my family growing up, and where I fell in love with the sport for life. Now the world will discover its magic, as Cortina and Milan are set to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. Today I'm excited to present our digital special issue on the Games, featuring Alysa Liu, Lindsey Vonn, and our digital cover star Chloe Kim. The quality they share is resilience: Alysa came back to skating after serious burnout; Lindsey is skiing at 41 after a partial knee replacement and, incredibly, on a torn ACL; and Chloe is fighting through her recent shoulder injury to win a third snowboarding gold. "My biggest accomplishment," she says, "is always being able to get back up and try again." —Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief |
