At the 2024 Olympics in Paris, Steph Curry clinched a gold medal for Team USA with an iconic performance.

At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, his presence could still be felt.

After helping secure a stunning upset over America’s world record-holders to win gold in the men’s team pursuit, Italian speedskater Andrea Giovannini broke out Curry’s signature “night, night” celebration against Team USA, placing his white-gloved hands against his head to declare the event was over.

There's another reason for the taunt. Curry is ditching the United States speed skating and bobsled team sponsor (Under Armour, which I hold shares, that Wes Moore destroyed while on the board of directors, taunting President Trump when Kevin Plank wanted to join a group to bring industry back to the States in 2017; the SEC and ESPN ran them out of the SEC as of July 1), and Giovanni was taunting the United States team for having a sponsor Curry's ditching.

Think about it.

Only thing worse than a poor loser is a poor winner.

“Curry’s signature “night, night” celebration”

Never heard of it.

You’re not the only one.

Searching for controversy where none exist.

It’s an event that involves three men skating in line close together, with the second and third man touching the ass of the skater in front of him. I’m ok with Italy taking the gold in that event.

Imagine a “team pursuit” in cycling. It’s a team time trial.

Chump, English for idiota.

Steph Curry is a left wing dingbat

No one cares.
America is done with the Olympics

[Salamander]

I have no idea what any of this means and I’m not sure I even care.

However, there’s a cool video of a wolf-dog following skiers down a hill.

Seriously?

Yep.

[BenLurkin]

Good doggie!

He was easily pacing them!

Gorgeous dog.

But, no link to said video?

Well that’s certainly as clear as mud..

I’m sure the Italians will feel embarrassed every time they rub their gold medals!

(sarc)

The funnier part is the Italian team mate saying...Who Dat?

[DPMD]

I might have seen it...had I any interest in either Curry or basketball, pro, Olympic or college.

The only thing I know of curry is that he’s an anti-Trump drone, like his white mater on the team.
