Great Britain's hopes of winning multiple skeleton medals at the Winter Olympics have been hit by a potential helmet ban just days before the start of competition in Milan and Cortina.

Mystique Ro is about to make her Winter Olympics debut. The 31-year-old, who was born in Oceanside, California and raised in Nokesville, Virginia, is looking to make her mark when she takes the stage at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.

The British Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association (BBSA) has asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to overturn the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation’s (IBSF) decision to ban the new helmets Team GB’s skeleton athletes hope to wear at Milan Cortina 2026.

Team GB have been caught up in a row about illegal helmets on the first day of competition at the Winter Olympics.

North Korea has opened its national winter games, state media reported, as athletes from the reclusive state sit out the Milan Cortina Winter Olympicsafter failing to secure qualification spots.

The 2026 Winter Olympics are officially underway. Even though the Opening Ceremony won't be held until Friday evening in Milan, events began on Wednesday, including round-robin curling and Alpine skiing men's downhill training.

Staging future Winter Games as early as January and the Paralympic Winter Games in February is a possibility because of the effects of warmer temperatures, the International Olympic Committee said.
