"This winter’s Olympic games will not be a normal international sporting event.
A cloud of geopolitical tension looms over the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics,
as well as the upcoming FIFA Men’s World Cup.
The tension escalated after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World
Economic Forum, where he spelled out his vision for a new world order for
middle powers. It stood out starkly against United States President Donald
Trump’s own speech at Davos, where he continued expressing his interest in
acquiring Greenland from Denmark.
As a result, the 2026 Winter Olympics will likely disrupt the International
Olympic Committee’s stated goal of sport bringing the world together under one
banner in unique ways. Rather than muting political conflict, the Games may
amplify it."
