The delays have prompted widespread frustration, and caused American figure skating star Alyssa Lui to be late to her event. "We almost didn't make it," her coach told the Washington Post. A medal favorite, Liu finished second in the women's short program, helping give Team USA a two-point lead over Japan in the three-day contest."

JD Vance arrived in Milan for the Winter Olympics with a motorcade exceeding 40 vehicles and a large security detail that clogged the city's narrow streets. The delegation reportedly used about 14 planes and 100 vehicles, including armored vehicles and a separate plane carrying food. Italy's prime minister reportedly left to meet him on foot. The convoy caused traffic delays that frustrated locals and interfered with transportation to the Milano Skating Arena, delaying American figure skater Alyssa Lui. Alyssa Lui finished second in the women's short program, contributing to Team USA's lead. Reports indicate Vance transported his own food.
