From trudging up a mountain to immediately skiing down it, Anne Thompson explores the intricacies of the latest addition to the Winter Olympics: ski mountaineering, also known as “SkiMo.” The sport of ski mountaineering made its long-awaited Olympics debut Thursday and crowned its first champion at the Milan Cortina Games in Marianne Fatton of Switzerland.

Coco Gauff continues to show in winter sports with the current Olympic Games ongoing in Milano-Cortina. Gauff is rooting for two Winter Olympians in particular, and she has also named two tennis players she thinks could do well at the Games.
