The 2026 Winter Olympics are shaping up to be unforgettable, and not just because of the competition.
In this Winter Olympics preview episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott unpack the biggest storylines casual fans need to know: comeback athletes, first-time Olympians, pop-culture crossovers, and the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that fuels great conversations.
We cover:
Who to cheer for if you don’t already have a favorite athlete (we see you, Maxim Naumov, Laila Edwards, Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin, + Chloe Kim)
Why U.S. women’s hockey, Jamaica’s bobsled team, and Team USA’s veterans are must-watch
The unfinished Olympic hockey arena that has fans buzzing
New Olympic events making their debut in 2026
Why Milan–Cortina is one of the most unique Winter Games ever
If you want to enjoy the Olympics without memorizing rules or stats, and still sound like you know what’s going on, this episode is for you.
The Last Night's Game podcast is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
