The House concurrent resolution R-289 congratulates the Vermont-associated athletes who excelled at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, where 24 competitors from Vermont contributed to the U.S. team's success by winning seven medals. Notable achievements include Ryan Cochran-Siegle's silver in the alpine super-G, which he won on the anniversary of his mother’s gold medal win in 1972, and Jessie Diggins' bronze in the 10k skate, marking her final Olympic appearance. Other highlights include Mac Forehand's silver in big air, Ben Ogden's two silver medals in cross-country skiing, and Paula Moltzan's bronze in the women's team combined event.

The resolution emphasizes the significant role Vermont plays in nurturing Olympic talent and recognizes the outstanding performances of these athletes, including Mikaela Shiffrin's gold in slalom, which further cements her status as the most decorated alpine skier in history. The General Assembly expresses its pride in these athletes' accomplishments and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to each medalist honored.
