+ Majorov and Reitan first - after 50 years
The duo is the first Swedish couple in ice dancing since the sport was introduced to the Olympic program in Innsbruck in 1976. Milla Ruud Reitan, born in Oslo, received Swedish citizenship a month ago and is competing with her boyfriend, Nikolaj Majorov. In a dress rehearsal, the couple won a competition in Oberstdorf last weekend. Now the couple will make blue-and-yellow figure skating history in Milan.
+ Next luge - Kohala in Cortina
Her big brother, Svante Kohala, competed this weekend. Now her younger sister, Tove Kohala, who finished 20th in Beijing 2022, will make her first two luge runs at the newly built billion-dollar arena in Cortina. The luge arena for the Games has - just like ice hockey's Santagiulia Arena - made headlines during its construction. A few months ago, the site was muddy, but now it is finished and ready for the Olympics.
