Past and present OUA athletes take on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games
Burlington, Ont. – One of the greatest honours an athlete can experience is representing their home country on the international stage, and with the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games underway this week, several athletes – past and present – will swap their school colours for their country's colours in Italy.
From the ice to the slopes, Ontario University Athletes (OUA) will be well represented this year at the Olympics, with several student-athletes wearing the maple leaf from February 6th to February 22nd.
