The worst of the Winter Olympics

Relive the worst moments and best stories from the history of the Winter Olympics. With Milano Cortina 2026 nearly upon us, the time is right to look into the history of the Winter Olympics to pull out some of the worst things that have happened in its history. There’s been plenty of controversy, bad behaviour, […]
