Marilyn's Photos - Feb 18 2026 - Olympic Style

 

Have we looked at 2026 Olympic style?  It seems there are some things to see. Here’s the “funky” Norway curling pants.  They decided to wear the style to honour one of their curlers who died of cancer in 2022:  “We thought one game honouring the old team and wearing the full Norwegian outfit there on the ice would be just amazing.”  I guess the Ukrainian skeleton athlete should have decorated his pants, and he’d still be competing.

The predominance of dark colours along with a lot of red, white and blue shows in the pictures.  But that’s not the case for Haiti.  Take a look at these two outfits.  There are only two athletes, maybe that explains it.

Since I can remember, every country has  name brands designing the uniforms/outfits.  Then the public gets to wear a bit of history during and after the games.  

As I went searching for articles, I found many more YouTube videos being retrieved.  I took a look at a  top 10 one HERE, but the white female presenter (who is on screen more than the clothes) was wearing a black durag.  It got my attention more than the attire so was distracting at best and a creepy at worst.  (We’ll look at that more separately.)

Finally, I found coverage of every team.  It is on yahoo HERE

If you aren’t a persistent researcher, you can go with AI and what it gives you.  Descriptions like “features fashion-forward, sustainable, and culturally inspired athlete uniforms.”  

I guess I should get used to this “breezy, know-it-all, too-many-adjectives, hyphenated-word-expression kind of writing.”  If I parody it too much, I might start writing like that.

A bank of fog rolled in yesterday overwhelming the sun.  It was quite dramatic on the escarpment horizon.  Today?  A severe weather warning for freezing rain and a winter snow storm.  And the fog? It has mostly gone south.


What do you think of this garden sculpture?  My quick answer is that it is not here in Niagara. To my mind - only in places like the U.K. with its mist and rain.
