The Olympic Winter Games will take Place in Milano/Cortina in Italy in February 6-22, 2026.
The official mascot of Milano Cortina 2026 is a cheerful stoat named Tina. The name is inspire by the host city CorTINA d’Ampezzo.
Little Mika became friends with the sweet mascot.
Tina was born in Italy, among the mountains where lush green summers give way to snowy white winters. She’s is passionate about art and music, and she believes in the power of beauty. Nature is her home, and even though she now lives in the city, she does everything she can to protect it and keep it untouched.
It’s a tradition that our polar bear friends arrange their own Olympic Games. This time they all decided to represent Greenland!
There are many very special sports in these games like diving in a frozen lake. The judges were very thorough while giving their points. I think this one got ten out of ten – at least the tail is very cute! 🙂
Of course, even more traditional sports are on the schedule.
This gracious couple is a delight for our eyes.
Little mishaps can occur.
Hello! This is downhill skiing – not uphill skiing!! Please, turn around and follow me!
There was a magnificent opening ceremony.
In our Polar Bear Olympics everything’s possible so instead of the noisy fireworks they had northern lights!
The fantastic ice bar is a perfect place for after ski!
The two legged creatures win medails – how stupid is that? Who can eat medails? No, in our games everybody wins a nice salmon!
Let the games begin!
Liebe Mervi,
Deine Geschichte heute ist wieder ganz große klasse! Die 7 Olympischen Ringe erleuchtet mit Nordlichtern, ja wie cool ist das denn?
Und in CORTINA D’AMPEZZO alle Eisbären Grönland antreten zu lassen ist geradezu genial!
Die Kür der Eisbären verdienen selbstredend die Haltungsnote 10.0 und die Lachswährung
als Medaillenersatz ist filmreif.
Danke für den witzigen Beitrag zu den Olympischen Spielen und liebe Grüße!

Dear Mervi
Just made a copy of this wonderful Olympic edition on my phone. You always make such beautiful Polar Bear versions.
Sorry, leider wieder mit kleinen Fehlern, wegen der Smartphonenutzun…
Dear Mervi!
I would much rather watch the polar bear Olympics than get tickets for the two-legged Olympic Games… Britta-Gudrun already mentioned it: the Northern Lights are so much cooler than the obligatory fireworks and don’t harm anyone. The graceful ice skating pair deserves just as good marks as the ice divers with their pretty behinds.
Thank you for this funny and imaginative article with equally creative collages!
Hugs

Dear Mervi!
Polar bear Olympic Games would be a wonderful event. Thank you for the interesting story with the beautiful collages.

Mervi, how wonderful!!! I love the story and the collages. The tail is cute, but the boomsie is definitely round. And the team representing Greenland will go home with all medals, EUH, I mean, salmons.
Liebe Mervi!
Vielen Dank für deine lustige Geschichte und die zauberhaften Collagen! Ich wollte schon eher kommentieren, bin aber irgendwie nicht reingekommen😒
Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende!
Die Collagen sind wieder mal klasse,
auch wenn ich wenig Olympiade
schauen werde… 🙂
Ich wollte eben nur einen kleinen Blick in die KNUIPE werfen (ca. 7 Uhr), weil mir wie üblich schon wieder die Zeit weg läuft.
Dabei stieß ich dann auf BRITTA-GUDRUNs Beitrag von heute Morgen ca, 5 Uhr, hinterließ deshalb zumindest einen Mini-Gruß und scrollte dann ganz kurz nach unten, wobei ich auf Britta-Gudruns Kommentar zu den dir leider nur spärlich vergönnten Kommentaren stieß, deshalb eilte ich nun doch auch noch kurz zu KM und Deinem OLYMPIA-Collagen-Beitrag, den ich nun wirklich mit Vergnügen angesehenhabe, obwohl mir Sport im Allgemeinen so ziemlich schnuppe ist 😉
I have to state: you created 1A-collages – nice and funny.
Of course, I liked also your subtitles, e.g. “Hello! This is downhill skiing – not uphill skiing!! Please, turn around and follow me!”
Very creative everything, indeed!
THANK YOU!
Thank you for everything you are obviously doing here in KM and in the KNUIPE and I feel really sorry that I am next to never only have a look and consequently next to never comment anymore. OK, that’s not the kind of comfort you are looking for once in a while but at least you can be aware that even so, I am still aware what you are still doing so generously without complaining very often about the lack and participation.
…Mögen die Eisbären aus Grönland die GEWINNER der Winterspiele sein !!!👍 ❄🐻❄️❄✊👏
