The IOC officially awarded the YOG2026 winters to Italy (Dolomites-Valtellina, practically a Milan-Cortina encore)

"FIS and snowboarding" seems like an odd name  

Damn, typo sorry

Snowboarding*

143rd IOC Media is currently running.     Frist vote was about some IFs name change:   World Curling Federation become World Curling FIS adding "and Skateboarding" in the name 

Reported list of skaters & coaches on board the plane:   Andrew Torgashev, Katie McBeth, Daniil Parkman, Christina Carreira, Anthony Ponomarenko, Alexey Shchepetov, Artem Markelov, Anton Spiridonov, Danila Savelyev, Evgenia Shishkova, Vadim Naumov, Inna Volyanskaya, Spencer Lane, Gina Khan, Franco Aparicio, Everly Livingston, Alydia Livingston, Sean Kay & Angela Yang.    

Evgenia Shishkova & Vadim Naumov (1994 World Champions in pairs) very likely were killed in the American Airlines collision with US Army helicopter in Washington last night.
