Trump Disses Team USA at White House Meet, Singles Out a Skier as a 'Loser'

President Trump hosted Team USA athletes in the White House East Room to celebrate medals from the Milano Cortina Games, but he quipped that he doesn’t do this with many other teams, praising some and criticizing others. He singled out speedskater Jordan Stolz for his gold and noted his “very strong legs,” while branding Hunter Hess a “real Loser” for remarks about mixed emotions in representing the U.S.; a few Team USA members skipped the Oval Office visit amid political tensions.

Stolz Falls Short in Milan Mass Start, Finishes Fourth

Jordan Stolz finished fourth in the men’s mass start at the Milan-Cortina Games, ending his bid for a third gold as Dutch veteran Jorrit Bergsma won and Italy’s Andrea Giovannini claimed bronze; Stolz said the pack’s reluctance to chase cost him a medal after already winning golds in the 500m and 1000m and a silver in the 1500m. In the women’s mass start, teammate Mia Manganello earned bronze in her final Olympic race, signaling retirement.

Stolz and Manganello Set for Olympic Mass Start Showdown

As the Milan 2026 Olympics wrap speed skating, the final mass start pits rising star Jordan Stolz and veteran Mia Manganello for the U.S. in a 16‑lap, four-interval race with semifinals advancing the top skaters. Stolz has quickly risen from junior bronze to World Cup gold and could become only the second American to win three events at a single Games if he takes gold, a feat first achieved by Eric Heiden; Manganello, 36, is chasing medals toward the end of a standout season. The event is streamed on Peacock/NBC platforms.

Olympic Scoreboard: The Final Say for Malinin, Stolz and Shiffrin

At Milan’s Olympics, Ilia Malinin’s quad axel looked destined for gold but costly missteps handed Shaidorov the title, Mikaela Shiffrin endured a disappointing team event that left the U.S. bronze, and Jordan Stolz shrugged off pressure to win two sprint golds. The piece argues that Olympic pressure can warp expectations, but the scoreboard ultimately writes the story, reminding readers not to judge a career by a single moment and to recognize the human cost behind the results.
