While I love covering the 2026 midterm elections, I’m thrilled to spend February digging into the data about something else: the Winter Olympics in Italy.
For NBC News subscribers, I’ll ensure you’re ready for the action from Day 1 with a series of video briefings. From the physics of a hurtling four-man bobsled to the chess-match strategy of curling, I’ll decode the scoring systems and break down what separates gold from silver when fractions of a second make all the difference.
One sport that can really be decided on the margins is also the newest to the Winter Olympics: ski mountaineering, or skimo. In a briefing published for subscribers yesterday, I broke down all four stages and why the transitions are so crucial for its athletes. I’ll get into even more winter sports for subscribers in the weeks ahead, like figure skating, bobsled and of course curling.
As an NBC News subscriber, you’ll also get video briefings from my colleagues, including Richard Engel on international affairs, Kristen Welker on the biggest political stories and Laura Jarrett on legal matters. Plus, you’ll have ad-free access to NBC News shows, podcasts, articles and more on our website and app. And you’ll receive our daily newsletter, The Inside Scoop, from Yasmin Vossoughian.
