With days to go before the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Games open, 17-year-old Chinese sprinter Chen Yujie has embraced the Olympic spirit as a torchbearer. Last November, she ran 200 meters in the torch relay near Patras, Greece—her slowest such distance yet, but one focused on sharing a message rather than speed.

Yhdistetty laji on käännekohdassa Milano Cortina 2026 talviolympialaisten edellä, joissa naiset ovat edelleen estettyjä kilpailemasta. Yhdysvaltalainen urheilija Annika Malacinski johtaa pyrkimyksiä korostaa lajin epävarmaa tulevaisuutta.
