Italian speedskater Pietro Sighel may have accidentally turned into one of the biggest villains at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
Sighel was part of the gold medal-winning Italian team in the Olympic short track speed skating mixed team relay, anchoring the final leg of the event at Milan’s ice skating arena. Italy had taken the lead around halfway through the race and led up until the end, at which point Sighel decided to perform a rather cocky celebration.
