San Valentín en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno puede verse distinto, pero sigue siendo especial – Chicago Tribune
By FERNANDA FIGUEROA and JENNIFER McDERMOTT
MILÁN (AP) — At the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, medals are not the only thing that should be behind hearts. From the ice slopes to the hills of Nevada, love is in the icy air.
Certain skills will allow you to have Cupido between gifts.
Dutch skater Jutta Leerdam set an Olympic record in the 1,000-meter race and then turned to meet her bride, Jake Paul, at the ranks; Ambos, visibly llorando, se hicieron signals of heart with his hands. And the new addition to the life of progeny team champion Breezy Johnson was married near the youth line, ridden by members of Team USA.
Valentine’s Day for athletes and games attendees isn’t really about grand gestures, but that doesn’t make it any less special.
Participate in San Valentine’s Day
San Valentín Day coincides with the finals of the women’s skeleton event. That means Belgium’s Kim Meylemans and Brazil’s Nicole Rocha Silveira — an international pair who count for their respective national teams — are increasingly busy as a romantic scene. Contact with the Associated Press who does not want to bring gifts for the exchanges.
But as is the case with all times, “siemper es a bit like San Valentín Day,” commented Meylemans. “Es parte de nuestro deporte allos días, nuestro amor”.
Ambas feels happy that his national Olympic committees have arranged for them to share accommodation in the Olympic villa in Cortina d’Ampezzo, because usually only teammates share accommodation. One half of your home is decorated in Belgium and the other half is decorated in Brazil.
Rocha Silveira was new to the sport in 2019, when Meylemans took part in Copa del Mundo trials. You are in love during the pandemic while you share all lifespans, and many hotels surround.
Fast forward to 2024, not knowing how to buy identical, planar compromise rings for the same boat trip to Brazil during your vacation. Se casaron el agosto pasado.
When you prepare, shake the hands and be sure before each batch, deseándose lo mejor.
“It’s not important that both are on the podium. At the end of the day, it’s a victory for our team,” expressed Meylemans.
Rocha Silveira noted that it is important that her relationship takes place during these games in Italy, that she does not recognize marriages between people of the same sex and that she only allows adoption in conjunction with heterosexual family couples.
It’s a great place to “show the most” and “enliven and inspire people who can be her too,” he said.
Volunteers of San Valentin
Lori and Curtis Brown have lived at home for more than 30 years and spent Valentine’s Day at the skating arena, where they worked as volunteers in this year’s Winter Olympics.
A total of 18,000 volunteers are distributed in the seats of northern Italy: a mar of navy blue uniforms that keep the games running all 24 hours, with indications like the indications, accompanying the athletes of the seats, the control of the multitudes and a doctor.
Curtis, for 60 years, said that only one of the two felt that people were working. Now I hope I can match your searches to celebrate the juntos, quizá rodeados del resto de los voluntarios, bromeó.
“This is the most special Valentine’s Day of our lives,” says Curtis. “When los dos estamos aqui, los dos estamos in the same tune, los dos estamos enjoy this adventure together.”
Although gifts aren’t the young man’s love language, Lori, 61, told the AP she bought boxer-style calzoncillos at the official Milan-Cortina rookie store. Curtis never had a purchase with her.
“There aren’t so many gifts as going out and doing something together,” Lori, 61, said. I was sent to Curtis, as he dawns a dreamy night.
Canadians against Germany
Canadian hockey delantera Laura Stacey and her wife, team captain Marie-Philip Poulin, have a distinctive type of city: playing against Germany in the quarterfinals in Milan.
“We have a party, we have a great party, as well as we have passed them. We are very happy”, commented Stacey. “The majority of people cannot make it so that we are persecuting our sueños juntas and nosotras si. So, February 14 created what is important for nosotras simply to appreciate it and not to love it by feeling.”
Although he addressed Germany, there are no planes, but Stacey indicated that for security reasons there would be fewer flights.
