CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — There’s something about the 2026 Olympics course in Cortina that brings the best out of American skier Jacqueline Wiles. Ten years ago, Wiles scored her first World Cup points at the Italian resort with a 15th in a downhill. “I’ve always loved Cortina,” Wiles said. A week after her 2018 result, Wiles crashed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and missed nearly two full years with serious injuries to her left leg. Wright returned to the finish area in time to celebrate Wiles’ result.

Scholz set off on the one-day trip, which unusually will not include a press delegation, late on Thursday. His visit comes days after Biden's security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said that Biden only sent Abrams tanks to Ukraine because Scholz made it a pre-condition for sending German Leopards. Berlin has insisted that Biden came to see it was necessary and so the decision was consensual. "The Biden administration will use the Scholz visit to try to shift Germany’s balance in the direction of stronger pushback." Scholz and Biden would discuss ongoing support for Ukraine, the upcoming NATO summit, and cooperation on the challenges posed by China and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, U.S. officials said.

REUTERS/Lukas Barth/PoolWASHINGTON (Reuters) -Finance leaders of the Group of Seven advanced economies said on Wednesday they will closely monitor “recent volatility” in markets, and reaffirmed their commitment that excessive exchange-rate moves were undesirable. The G7 finance leaders met on Wednesday on the sidelines of the G20 and International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings held in Washington this week. Under the commitment agreed on May 2017, the G7 agreed that excess volatility and disorderly currency moves have negative impacts on their economies and financial stability. Japan has been pushing hard to include a warning on recent currency moves in the G7 statement, as it struggles to address the yen’s slide to 24-year lows against the dollar.

The Fed's aggressive tightening is setting off more warnings about a recession and fallout for the stock market. Ahead of JPMorgan's quarterly report, CEO Jamie Dimon said the economy is on the verge of a recession, and the stock market could fall another 20%. But most importantly, it's Russia's war against Ukraine that is most unsettling to markets and poses a great risk. Meanwhile, billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said a "recession playbook" could see stocks fall 10% further. PayPal stock fell after a botched roll-out of an acceptable use policy update that included big fines for the promotion of misinformation.
