I would not call myself a fervent sports fan, but when it comes to the Olympics, I’m all over it…winter and summer games both. UASC’s photographic collection doesn’t have too many images of the Olympics, but here are two I found.

Soviet Union medal winners in the 1988 winter games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The men were not identified. MSS 156-0004, the Michael Pugh collection
The incredible Olga Korbut in her high bar routine at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. MSS 156-0006, the Michael Pugh collection

The XXV Olympic Winter Games will take place February 6-22 in two locations in Italy: Milan and Cortina.

The torch relay began on December 5, 2025 in Rome, and ended its 60th and final stage in Milan on February 4, 2026. The opening ceremony will be on February 6 and “will feature blockbuster acts from international artists including five-time Grammy Award-winner Mariah Carey, Golden Globe winner Laura Pausini and famed Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, to the award-winning actor and producer Pierfrancesco Favino and The White Lotus’ Emmy-nominated star Sabrina Impacciatore.”

Grab your favorite beverage and snacks and settle in for 2 weeks of amazing athleticism, determination, and courage..let the games begin, indeed!
