OLY--MILAN CORTINA-PIN TRADING

Milan’s Olympic pin mania has collectors running between landmarks and swarming an exchange center

SUMMARY: Olympic pin collectors in Milan turn each morning into a sprint for a small prize. On Wednesday, fans gather before 8 a.m. and then race to a landmark after YesMilano posts the day’s lineup spot online. Only 250 limited-edition pins go out each day, but staff hand out numbers around 9:30. People pick up the pins at noon. Collectors say the hunt feels social and fun, even if it looks extreme. Serious traders also chase high-value logo pins and pack trading events with thousands of badges at the official Olympic Pin Trading Center, sponsored by Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes.

OLY--SPD-SPEEDSKATING-MEN’S 1000

US speedskater Jordan Stolz closes in on 1,000 meters gold medal in an Olympic-record time

SUMMARY: U.S. speedskater Jordan Stolz has finished the men’s 1,000 meters at the Milan Cortina Olympics with the fastest time, pending a re-skate for one entrant who was bumped during an earlier heat. If Stolz’s time stood up Wednesday, he would earn the first gold of what he hopes will be a four-medal appearance at these Winter Games. Skating in the next-to-last pairing at Milano Speed Skating Stadium, a temporary facility constructed for these Olympics that has been producing fast times so far, Stolz finished in 1 minute, 6.28 seconds. The 21-year-old from Wisconsin didn’t threaten his world record of 1:05.37 but did establish an Olympic record.

OLY--MILAN CORTINA ROUNDUP

Winter Olympics recap: Franjo von Allmen wins his 3rd gold, Chloe Kim and NHL stars get rolling

SUMMARY: Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland looks like a breakout star of the Milan Cortina Olympics after winning his third gold medal. Chloe Kim and a bunch of NHL stars are just getting started. Von Allmen won the super-G in Bormio on Wednesday to become the third man with three victories in Alpine skiing at one Winter Games. It hadn’t been done since 1968. Elsewhere, the puck dropped on men’s hockey, marking the return of NHL players to the Games for the first time since 2014. And Chloe Kim’s attempt at a three-peat in the halfpipe began promisingly when she finished first in qualifying.

OLY--SKI-VONN’S CRASH

Lindsey Vonn says she had a ‘successful’ 3rd surgery on broken leg following crash at the Olympics

SUMMARY: Lindsey Vonn says she had a “successful” third surgery on her broken left leg following her downhill crash at the Olympics. Vonn posted an update on Instagram that included photos of her giving a thumbs up sign in her hospital bed with a metal frame attached to her leg. She says “I had my 3rd surgery today and it was successful. Success today has a completely different meaning than it did a few days ago.” The 41-year-old Vonn crashed a few seconds into her race Sunday and was airlifted off the course by helicopter. She said late Monday she had suffered a “complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly.”

BKN--PISTONS-HORNETS SUSPENSIONS

Stewart suspended 7 games and 3 other players are penalized for fighting in Pistons-Hornets game

SUMMARY: Detroit center Isaiah Stewart was suspended seven games by the NBA on Wednesday, while three other players were also penalized for their roles in a fight during a game between the Pistons and Charlotte Hornets. Hornets forwards Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté were each suspended four games for fighting and escalating the altercation, while Pistons center Jalen Duren got two games for initiating the altercation and fighting, the league announced. But the heaviest penalty went to Stewart, with the league saying it was based in part on his “repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.” The league said he left the bench area, aggressively entered an on-court altercation, and fought during Monday night’s game.

US--SUPER BOWL-PREDICTION MARKETS

Cardi B’s cameo in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show leads to dispute on prediction markets

SUMMARY: Cardi B was part of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. What she did exactly, well, that turned into a perplexing question for two major prediction markets. At least one Kalshi trader filed a complaint with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission over how the prediction market handled Sunday’s appearance by the Grammy-winning rapper. The result of a similar event contract on Polymarket also drew the ire of some users on that platform. There was some ambiguity surrounding whether Cardi B’s halftime appearance constituted a performance, leading to the dispute.

FBN--INSIDE THE NUMBERS

Drake Maye will try to become the rare QB to get back to Super Bowl and win after losing debut

SUMMARY: Drake Maye has a long career ahead of him to try to bounce back from flopping in his Super Bowl debut. The second-youngest quarterback ever to start the Super Bowl committed three turnovers, took six sacks and couldn’t get the New England Patriots on the scoreboard until the fourth quarter of a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While the 23-year-old Maye should have plenty of chances down the road to get back and win on the NFL’s biggest stage, history shows that’s not quite as easy as it may seem.

OLY--CANADA SHOOTING-REACTION

Canadian Olympic team is ‘heartbroken’ by deadly school shooting in British Columbia

Authorities say seven people were killed in Tuesday’s shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, while two more were found dead at a nearby home. A woman believed by police to be the shooter was also found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted wound. Winnipeg native Thomas Hepworth in Milan to see Olympic hockey says the shooting “is something you ever expect to hear anywhere in Canada, let alone a small community.” Team Canada says it is “heartbroken.”

BKN--SPURS-WEMBANYAMA’S 40

Victor Wembanyama says he was ‘proving a point’ with his 40-point barrage in Spurs’ win over Lakers

SUMMARY: Victor Wembanyama began his 40-point performance against the Lakers with a 25-point first quarter. That relentless start was a direct message from both the San Antonio Spurs and their young superstar. Wembanyama is tired of the Spurs playing poorly against lesser opponents, and he took it on himself personally to make spectacularly quick work of a Lakers lineup missing nearly all of Los Angeles’ best players, saying he was “proving my team a point.” He went on to a 37-point first half while leading San Antonio to a 30-point lead over the Lakers minus Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
