President Donald Trump hosted a reception at the White House to honor the accomplishments of Winter Olympians and Paralympians who competed in the Milano Cortina games earlier this year.
Celebrating American Athletes
Nearly half of the Team USA athletes who competed in Italy attended the reception, along with coaches, staff, and other representatives. Among those attending was speedskater Jordan Stolz, whom Trump praised for being the single most-decorated American Olympian of the 2026 Games.
Trump also asked who was already training for the next Olympics, and many of the athletes raised their hands. He noted that the 2034 Winter Olympics will be held in Salt Lake City and that Los Angeles is hosting the 2028 Summer Games.
The president stayed mostly focused on the Olympics and not politics in his remarks, though he did mention his administration’s efforts to protect women’s sports and college sports.
