This resolution expresses the Senate's support for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams competing in the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Italy, which will take place from February 6-22 for the Olympics and March 6-15 for the Paralympics. The resolution recognizes Team USA's strong medal history and notes that the United States plans to send 232 athletes to compete in the Olympic Games, with at least 36 athletes already qualified for the Paralympic Games. The resolution applauds the athletes, coaches, and supporting families while commending the Italian government for providing a safe environment for the games. It also acknowledges that the United States will host the next Olympic Games, with the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and the 2034 Winter Olympics in Utah, and commits to ensuring safety and security for those future events. This is a ceremonial resolution that does not involve any funding or create new programs, serving instead as a formal statement of congressional support for American Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
