Looks like Elmo’s packing his mittens - he’s heading to Italy for the Winter Olympics! NBC’s bringing the Sesame Street crew to Milan and Cortina. Elmo says his mom’s knitting him a red, white and blue hat... and Cookie Monster’s training for curling - with a giant chocolate chip cookie! (Somewhere, an Italian nonna is already hiding the cannoli!)

The Pickleball World Cup wrapped up yesterday in Fort Lauderdale at the Fort. Team USA beat Hong Kong to win the 2025 World Cup. Congratulations to the home team!

Miami Heat on the road lost to the Los Angeles Lakers last night, 130-120. Luka Doncic had a triple double.
