NPR is on-site for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Host A Martinez is joined by correspondents Becky Sullivan, Brian Mann and Rachel Treisman to preview the competition and storylines to follow. They’ll spotlight Lindsey Vonn’s comeback to the slopes, track the recovery and impact of Chloe Kim’s shoulder injury, and assess the U.S. men’s hockey team as it pursues a gold medal.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik also joins the conversation to analyze NBC’s coverage of the Games, from storytelling choices to broadcast strategy. Together the team outlines what to watch in the coming days and why these athletes and narratives matter beyond the medal count.
