Managing editor Kimi Yoshino sent a terse email to more than a dozen Post journalists on Friday informing them their coverage plans for the 2026 games in Milan-Cortina were being scrapped. “As we assess our priorities for 2026, we have decided not to send a contingent to the Winter Olympics,” Yoshino wrote in an email obtained by The New York Times.

Dan Steinberg went to The Athletic after spending 23 years at the Post and creating the D.C. Sports Bog.
