The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed an appeal by Italian curler Angela Romei seeking to overturn her exclusion from the women's team for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. The decision stems from allegations of favouritism in replacing her with the daughter of the national team's technical director. The ruling upholds the Italian Ice Sports Federation's selection process.
