The excitement is palpable as the athletes prepare for the 2026 Winter Olympics! This year, they’ve not only been training rigorously but also receiving some stunning new gear from top brands, ensuring they’ll perform at their best while looking fabulous.
Upon landing in Italy for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, these athletes had a chance to unveil their freshly gifted apparel and accessories, showcasing them in engaging video hauls shared on TikTok. Stars like Hahna Norman, Grace Henderson, Taylor Heise, and Christina Carreira expressed their enthusiasm for their stylish new wardrobe provided by notable names such as Nike, SKIMS, and Ralph Lauren.
Hahna, representing the U.S. Olympic Snowboard Team, took to TikTok to share her excitement about the impressive gear she received. In one of her videos, she excitedly thanked Nike, saying, "Massive shout out to Nike. All this stuff is so awesome!" as she unpacked a USA duffle bag overflowing with Nike goodies. The contents included a media outfit featuring a puffy jacket, cargo pants, and a base layer top, along with zip-up lounging shoes and various athletic wear, all adorned with "Team USA" logos.
“I’m in love with this,” exclaimed Hahna in another clip, showcasing a vibrant red Team USA tank top.
The 21-year-old, hailing from Truckee, California, who will compete in the Snowboard Pro Slopestyle event, also highlighted the plethora of accessories included in her bag: hats, beanies, socks, a headband, a scarf, gloves, and even a multitool. It was a treasure trove of Olympic gear that any athlete would cherish!
One item that truly caught her eye was a unique bald eagle skirt blanket. Laughing, she remarked, "We’ve got this crazy skirt thing, which is a very unique piece... I think it’s pretty cool." Her playful take on the item resonated with fans and sparked curiosity about its design.
Ice hockey player Gwyneth Philips also showcased the skirt blanket in her own Instagram post, wearing it alongside teammate Hayley Scamurra while humorously dubbing it "Schhhwaagg."
In addition to Nike's offerings, Hahna was thrilled to unbox gifts from SKIMS, Kim Kardashian's popular brand, which included a plush robe, sleepwear, and, notably, an exciting selection of underwear. “Last but not least, the thing I’m probably most excited for: underwear!” she declared, clearly delighted by the stylish designs.
Grace, part of the Olympic Freeski Team, and Christina, an Olympic figure skater, each shared their own enthusiastic TikTok videos revealing their new Nike and SKIMS items. Grace expressed her eagerness by stating, "This bag is huge, I’m very excited to open it," while Christina gushed, “I’m obsessed… I love you so much @SKIMS.”
Taylor Heise, the ice hockey player, showcased her Ralph Lauren gear in her TikTok video, exclaiming, "I’m so obsessed with this stuff!" She unveiled several items, including a puffer jacket and various sweatsuits, remarking how incredible the experience was—"Like what a dream hahah!"
