MILAN — Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio watched the United States’ women’s hockey team take on Czechia on Thursday, the first stop in a trip planned to include a visit to the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony on Friday night.
Rubio sat in the third row off the ice, and Vance the fourth, and both cheered as the United States routed Czechia 5-1 to claim America’s first team victory at the 2026 Olympics.

After the game, American players indicated they had no idea the vice president would be in attendance, and didn’t seem to notice when he was there. “We try to stay pretty focused and stay within the walls of the ring,” defender Cayla Barnes said. “Everything outside the walls of the ring is kind of a distraction.”

Vance and the American delegation left the arena with about six minutes remaining in the game.
At the Opening Ceremony, Vance’s delegation is expected to include Rubio and U.S. Ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta. Also slated to be part of the U.S. delegation: American gold medal-winning athletes including figure skater Evan Lysacek, hockey players Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando and speed skater Apolo Ohno.
After the Olympics, Vance will travel to Armenia and Azerbaijan to attempt to broker a peace agreement.
Vance arrived in Italy amid ongoing and planned protests of the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Olympics. However, Italian Minister Matteo Piantedosi told the Italian parliament earlier this week that only agents from ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division, which investigates cross-border crimes, would be present in Milan. U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Chief Security Officer Nicole Deal said Thursday morning that ICE agents will “unequivocally” not be connected with the United States’ athlete delegation.

There’s a long tradition of vice presidents and other dignitaries representing the United States at both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Former Vice President Joe Biden attended the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and former Vice President Mike Pence represented the United States at the Opening Ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018. Then-First Lady Jill Biden attended the Paris Olympics in 2024, where she took in, among other events, a women’s water polo match alongside Flavor Flav. The United States did not send then-vice president Kamala Harris or any other delegates to China in 2022 as a diplomatic protest over China’s human rights abuses.
Select events at the Milan Cortina Olympics are already underway, but the “start” of the Olympics is always associated with the Opening Ceremony. The event, which kicks off every Olympics, often features massive displays of pageantry by the host country, celebrating the history of the games and highlighting athletes from each country.
While an impressive show is expected Friday, the Milan Cortina Games will do a few things differently during the Opening Ceremony. For the first time in Olympics history, the event will be spread across multiple locations. The main ceremony will be held at Milan’s San Siro Olympic Stadium. At the same time, Cortina d’Ampezzo — one of the game’s host cities — will also stage a ceremony of its own.

With the Winter Olympics 2026 Opening Ceremony nearly underway, here’s everything you need to know about the festivities at the Milan Cortina games.
When is the Opening Ceremony?
The Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony will take place Friday, Feb. 6, at roughly 2 p.m. ET. It will be 8 p.m. in Italy when the Opening Ceremony kicks off. The entire event is expected to take roughly three hours.
Olympics Opening Ceremony schedule
Organizers keep the exact schedule for the Opening Ceremony a secret as a way to surprise viewers. Opening Ceremonies at the Olympics typically feature a parade of athletes and flagbearers — Erin Jackson and Frank Del Duca for the Unites States — and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron. There will be plenty of other surprises thrown into the ceremony, but there is no set schedule of events once the opening ceremony begins.

What time is the Olympic cauldron lighting?
There’s no exact time set for the Olympic cauldron lighting, but they — yes, there are two, one in Milan, the other in Cortina — will likely be lit toward the end of the opening ceremony. With the Opening Ceremony expected to last about three hours, the cauldrons will likely be lit in the last 30-45 minutes of the event.

Why are there two Olympic cauldrons at the 2026 games?
History will be made at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. During the Opening Ceremony on Friday, Olympic torches will be used to light two separate cauldrons, the first time that’s ever happened in the history of the event.

The lightings, which will take place simultaneously, will occur in two separate locations. One is located in Milano at the Arco della Pace. The second is located in Cortina d’Ampezzo in Piazza Dibona. Olympic organizers decided on two cauldrons as a way to show harmony and unity between both host cities of the 2026 Olympics.
The cauldrons are meant to evoke the work of Leonardo da Vinci, particularly his knots, which appeared in his paintings and in his manuscripts.
Who will perform at the Opening Ceremony?
Mariah Carey is among the performers who will appear at the ceremony. Carey is a six-time Grammy award winner and a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In addition to Carey, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will also perform at the Opening Ceremony. Chinese pianist Lang Lang and Italian actor Sabrina Impacciatore will also perform at the event.

While Olympic organizers have not announced the exact time the cauldrons will be lit, it will likely occur near the end of the Opening Ceremony, which will start at 2 p.m. ET and run for roughly three hours. That should result in the cauldrons being lit in the final 30-45 minutes of the Opening Ceremony on Friday.

Who will light the Olympic cauldrons?
Olympic organizers tend to keep details about the Opening Ceremony a secret, so there’s been no official announcement on who was chosen to light the two Olympic cauldrons Friday.

Typically, the host country chooses current or former Olympic athletes for the honor. At the 2024 Olympics in Paris, French track and field star Marie-José Pérec, who won three gold medals during her career, was one of the two people selected to light the cauldron. The other was French judo gold medalist Teddy Riner, who also won three gold medals during his Olympic career.
During the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, skier Zhao Jiawen and cross-country skier Dilnigar Ilhamjan were chosen for the honor. Both athletes took part in the 2022 Olympics, though did not medal in their events.
Italy could turn to skiers Deborah Compagnoni and Alberto Tomba for the honor if it wanted to highlight successful Olympians from the past. Compagnoni and Tomba each won three gold medals at the Winter Olympics during their careers. Neither were selected to carry the torch leading up to the cauldron lightings, so it’s possible organizers are saving Compagnoni and Tomba for this moment.

The New York Knicks reportedly could be without Miles McBride until the playoffs as the guard needs sports hernia surgery, according to The Athletic’s Fred Katz.
The 25-year-old McBride has played 35 games this season and is averaging 12.9 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in a little over 28 minutes per night. His pending long-term absence is one reason why the Knicks went out on acquired Jose Alvarado from the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
This isn’t the first injury issue for McBride this season. He missed eight games in December with a high left ankle sprain. That same ankle has caused him to sit out the Knicks’ past five games as the team awaited test results.
The Knicks have won eight straight games following Wednesday’s 134-127 double overtime victory over the Denver Nuggets. At 33-18, they sit second in the Eastern Conference.
On Wednesday, the Knicks acquired Dalen Terry from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Guerschon Yabusele. That moved allowed them to flip Terry to the Pelicans for help at guard with Alvarado now that McBride is seemingly sidelined until the playoffs.
Alvarado is averaging 7.9 points, 3.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game this season.
Super Bowl LX will see the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks face off inside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. If you’ve got a desire to see the game in person rather than just watching it on TV, the good news is that there are still tickets for the Big Game available on Gametime. The less good news is that they’re going to cost you — the cheapest seats are still over $4,500 — but considering that you’ll get to see the biggest football game of the year, a Bad Bunny halftime show, and performances from singers like Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones.
Gametime is the premier marketplace for last-minute tickets to events like the 2026 Super Bowl, featuring transparent pricing that includes all fees, mobile ticketing – no printer required – and a guarantee that all tickets sold will be valid for entry to the game.

How to get tickets to Super Bowl LX with Gametime
This year’s Super Bowl is one of the hottest seats around, but despite the huge demand, there are still tickets to be had.

As expected, Super Bowl ticket prices are pretty high, with the cheapest seats starting around $4,870 and some seats in the end zone costing upwards of $27,000.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jim Harbaugh has a college national championship, but no Super Bowl ring. John Harbaugh has a Super Bowl ring, but not a college ring.
Jay Harbaugh has both. And he’s going for another Super Bowl ring this week at age 36.
Advertisement
Jay Harbaugh, Jim’s son and John’s nephew, has done pretty well for himself at a young age. He’s the Seattle Seahawks’ special teams coordinator. That unit had a big say in the Seahawks advancing to Super Bowl LX; Seattle ranked second among NFL teams in special teams DVOA this season.
Doors have opened for Harbaugh because of his family. He was an offensive quality control coach for the 2012 Baltimore Ravens, who won a Super Bowl, at age 23. That probably doesn’t happen if Uncle John isn’t the head coach in Baltimore. He spent nine seasons on Michigan’s staff, and was special teams coordinator and safeties coach under his dad when the Wolverines won a national title.
There’s the flip side of those opportunities. There’s no way, in the football world, that Jay Harbaugh can escape his last name. He’s the son and nephew of two of the most famous and successful coaches in the football world. That has allowed for some great opportunities at a young age, but it also can be challenging to live up to that.

However, Jay Harbaugh doesn’t see the downside.
“It’s a blessing to have things expected of you,” Harbaugh said. “Not everybody has that as a coach. It’s one of the great gifts of coaching, to look at somebody and tell them exactly what you can see them being and what they’re capable of and give them the tools to do that. In my own life, to have people look and have expectations of being something, that’s a great thing. It comes with some pressure and scrutiny, but it’s a good thing. I’m grateful for it.”

Growing up Harbaugh
As you’d imagine, when the Harbaugh family gets together, the subject eventually comes back to the same thing.
Advertisement
“We are capable of talking about other things,” Jay Harbaugh said. “But things generally tend to gravitate back towards football or coaching or sports in general.”
When you grow up as the son of Jim Harbaugh — a Heisman finalist at Michigan, a 14-year NFL quarterback and then a successful head coach over the past 22 seasons in college and the pros — football is part of your life. And it’s hard to escape it.
“When I was younger I didn’t want to play quarterback because I didn’t want to be compared to my dad,” Jay Harbaugh said. “So I became a coach instead.”
Jay Harbaugh said he wanted to be a coach from a young age, but then went through a phase early in his teenage years in which he was seeking another path.
Advertisement
“I think I wanted to be an FBI agent or something. I would have been horrible at it,” Jay Harbaugh said. “I think I just wanted to see what else I could do.”
Jay Harbaugh remembers being a junior in high school when he was at an event with his grandfather Jack, another Harbaugh legend who spent more than 40 years coaching including 14 as Western Kentucky’s head coach.
“Person after person came up and greeted him and they’re telling stories and laughing,” Harbaugh said. “They were people he probably didn’t even remember. Seeing this impact and how rich his life was, I remember having this feeling of, yeah, I want that.”
Jay Harbaugh back in a Super Bowl
The Harbaughs have made coaching a family matter, and it is impressive that three members of the family have prominent coaching jobs in the NFL.

“Miss him. Miss Jay, miss [Jay’s children] Jacob and Norma and [Jay’s wife] Brhitney, but very proud,” Jim Harbaugh said before a 2024 preseason game between the Jim’s Chargers and the Seahawks. “Very proud of Jay and what he’s accomplished, what he’s accomplishing now.”
Jay Harbaugh has been an asset for the Seahawks. Seattle has been strong on special teams all season. A key punt return touchdown by Rashid Shaheed against the Rams in Week 16 helped the Seahawks in a historic comeback win that was a huge step in them winning the NFC West, getting the NFC’s No. 1 seed and using that as a springboard to the Super Bowl.
“Jay is one of the best football coaches I’ve ever been around,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said. “The mentality he has on a day-to-day basis is what we love from our coaches. Chasing edges, elegant simplicity, relationships and connecting with his players. Love Jay, he’s a great coach.”
Many years ago, John Harbaugh had been a special teams coordinator for most of his career as an assistant when the Ravens hired him as a head coach. He had 18 successful seasons there, and was just hired to be the New York Giants’ head coach. Jay Harbaugh is still relatively early in his coaching career, and it’s possible at some point he joins his father and uncle as a head coach in the NFL.

“He’s a special teams whiz. He knows everything there is. Self scout, he’s looking at our film and he’s telling us ‘Look out for this, they’re going to pick up on this,’” Seahawks fullback Robbie Ouzts said. “Just his knowledge of the game and how he interacts with players, you can tell he grew up in it.”
This week isn’t about Harbaugh’s future in coaching, but trying to get his special teams ready for Super Bowl LX and perhaps making another big play to shift the momentum of the game. In many ways, he has been building to this moment most of his life.
“I’ll always be grateful because my parents were like ‘Do whatever you’re passionate about and what you’re interested in,’” Jay Harbaugh said. “There was never any, ‘Hey you need to be in football.’
“As time passed, I realized that’s where my passion was and I was able to come by it naturally.”
MILAN — For decades, the hierarchy at the top of women’s hockey has mostly been Canada, the U.S. and then everyone else.
Nothing happened Thursday that would suggest the gap is closing.
The U.S. women began their quest for Olympic gold with a dominant 5-1 victory over Czechia in the opening game of group play for both teams at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. Hayley Scamurra scored twice and three other Americans found the back of the net once, delighting Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, both of whom were seated a few rows up in the stands across the ice from the U.S. bench.

In theory, Czechia figured to provide the U.S. one of its toughest non-Canada tests at these Olympics. The Czechs have finished no worse than fourth at any of the previous four World Championships and arrived in Milan vowing to “create some chaos,” as forward Kristyna Kaltounkova put it on Wednesday.
In reality, Czechia proved to be little more than a speed bump. The U.S. controlled the game from the opening faceoff, outshooting Czechia 42-14 and keeping the puck in the attacking zone for long stretches of each period.
“I think our forecheck is pretty dangerous,” U.S. defender Megan Keller said. “We have a fast group. We can hunt, be relentless, turn pucks over. I think that’s going to drive a lot of our offense.”

The impressive showing added to the momentum the U.S. built coming into these Olympics. The Americans secured the No. 1 spot in the IIHF global rankings by capturing the 2025 women’s ice hockey world championship and by following that up by sweeping Canada in the four-game Rivalry Series by a combined score of 24-7.

The U.S. opened the scoring late in the first period on Thursday with some help from Czechia’s Dominika Lásková. The physical Czechia defender drew a two-minute penalty for an illegal check to the head of American forward Abbey Murphy.
Only 30 seconds into the ensuing U.S. power play, Keller and Alex Carpenter took advantage. Carpenter redirected Keller’s laser shot through the legs of Czechia goalie Klara Peslarova for the first American goal of these Olympics.
“When you see Megan Keller shoot, you just go to the net and try to do anything you can to either get a stick on it or take the eyes away,” Carpenter said. “She’s got a rocket from up there.”
Early in the second period, the U.S. struck again, this time with two goals within 83 seconds, both assisted by Penn State senior Tessa Janecke. On the first goal, Janecke fought to win a loose puck, skated around the back of the net and found Joy Dunne wide open in the slot. Barely a minute later, Janecke set up Scamurra, whose wrist shot trickled through the legs of Peslarova with the help of a screen to block the goalie’s vision.
The U.S. might have secured a shutout were it not for an ill-timed second-period giveaway at the exact moment Czechia’s Barbora Jurickova emerged from the penalty box. Jurickova received a pass just outside the attacking zone and beat U.S. goalie Aerin Frankel stickside for a breakaway goal, briefly giving Czechia life.

It didn’t last long.
Five-time U.S. Olympian Hilary Knight scored late in the second period to increase the U.S. lead to 4-1. Scamurra struck again early in the third.
By then, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
Vance, Rubio and their security detail exited with more than six minutes left in the third period, no doubt confident the U.S. women were on their way to victory.
The New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl LX, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Despite the fact that the Big Game is happening smack dab in the middle of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, it’s still likely going to be the most-watched sports event of the week. A record 127 million viewers watched last year’s game, and the number of Super Bowl viewers has grown steadily for the past five years – as ratings go, it certainly won’t hurt that Bad Bunny, the most-streamed artist in the world and now winner of Album of the Year at the 2926 Grammys, is headlining halftime.

A three-person independent arbitration panel has awarded Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal a $32 million contract for the 2026 MLB season, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Thursday. It is a one-year deal for Skubal, 29, and he will be eligible for unrestricted free agency next offseason.
A Wednesday hearing saw both the Tigers and Skubal present their cases for what the back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner should earn for the 2026 season. Prior to the hearing, Skubal’s agent, Scott Boras, asked for an arbitration-record salary of $32 million — $1 million more than the $31 million Juan Soto got in 2024 with the New York Yankees. The Tigers proposed $19 million, and the $13 million difference in filings was the largest in MLB arbitration history.

The panel was tasked with selecting one of the two numbers from Skubal and the Tigers, not determining an amount between the totals.
The previous arbitration record for a pitcher was $19.75 million, which was awarded to former Tigers lefty David Price in 2015. Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s $19.9 million salary in 2024 was the highest total in an arbitration case decided by a panel. Jeanne Charles and Walt De Treaux, who were on the panel for Guerrero’s decision, were also part of the Skubal hearing.
Skubal’s was the third arbitration case decision this offseason, with the previous two also going the player’s way. Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish was awarded $3.55 million over the team’s ask of $2.875 millio, and Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz received $4.5 million rather than the $3 million the team proposed.
Seven more players have arbitration hearings scheduled, including Milwaukee Brewers catcher Willson Contreras, Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Bubic and Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson.
The 29-year-old Skubal has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the past two seasons, compiling a 31-10 record with 469 strikeouts, a 0.91 WHIP and a .201 opponent batting average in 381 1/3 innings pitched. He’s a two-time All-Star and All-MLB first-team player, he won the pitching Triple Crown in 2024, and he’s one of six players who have won multiple Cy Youngs in the past 15 years.
Last season, Skubal led the Tigers pitching staff backed by Jack Flaherty and Case Mize. Detroit finished second in the AL Central with an 87-75 record and reached the ALDS, in which they lost to the Seattle Mariners in five games.

Skubal, who will be one of Team USA’s top arms at next month’s World Baseball Classic, won one of his three postseason starts, pitching 20 2/3 innings and allowing four earned runs while striking out 36 with opponents batting .143 against him.
