The Winter Olympics are over, and Milano and Cortina d’Ampezzo gave a true spectacle of sheer beauty and excellence, enhanced of course by the success of the many athletes who sparkled like snowflakes in the sun. Among the most successful athletes are Johannes Klaebo (Norway, cross-country skiing,) Franjo von Almen, Switzerland, and Frederica Brignone, Italy, (slalom and downhill skiing,) Germany (Bobsleigh,) Sweden (cross-country skiing,) Alysia Liu (USA, figure skating,) Italy and Germany (luge,) Jens Luras Oftebro (Norway, Nordic combined,) Netherlands (short speed skating,) Great Britain (skeleton,) Anna Odine Strom (Norway, ski jumping,) Jordan Stoltz (USA, speed skating) Jens van’t Wout (Netherlands, speed-skating,) Francesca Lollobrigida (Italy, speed skating). These were all multiple gold medal winners. In total, Norway won 18 gold, 12 silver and 11 bronze medals, USA 12-12-9, Italy 10-6-14, Germany 8-10-8, Japan 5-7-12. The biggest star was Johannes Klaebo who won 6 gold medals, whom I honor with this photo as he nibbles on one of his gold medals.
