2026 Milan Cortina Olympics
Milan Cortina was my fourth Olympics with the NBCU Local team, and with that came more responsibilities.
I was one of the few members on my team who worked split shifts throughout the two-plus weeks. Some days, I would work the early morning (ET) shift on live coverage of events happening in Italy. Others, I would come in later in the afternoon (ET) to wrap up live event coverage and prepare for the following day. My roles included live-blog writing and coordinating, breakout stories and collaborating with regions on their local coverage on digital and linear properties. Here are the stories and live blogs that I wrote and/or coordinated:
