✍️ A Personal NoteThere is something uniquely exciting about the Winter Olympics.Perhaps it is the combination of snow-covered mountains, icy arenas, national pride, dramatic competition, and athletes pushing themselves under extreme winter conditions.Over the years, while guiding travelers across North America and visiting winter destinations, I saw how strongly people connect with winter sports and the traditions surrounding them.Even people who rarely follow sports during the rest of the year often become captivated by the atmosphere and excitement of the Winter Olympics.The 2026 Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo continue that tradition — and many of those impressions inspired the questions in this quiz.— Nicco Schaal
