The crowd at the Olympic opening ceremony went against IOC orders during Team USA’s entrance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2026 games will be the 25th edition of the Winter Olympics, with the Mariah Carey performing at the opening ceremony on Friday at the San Siro.<\/p>\n

Despite the Olympics bringing nations with all different cultures across the world together, political tensions in the US have overshadowed the build-up to this year’s games.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, recently described Donald Trump’s ICE agents as \u201ca militia that kills\u201d\u00a0following the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hundreds of protestors have gathered in Milan to oppose the US<\/a>, however, Donald Trump was not there to see it in person, with vice president JD Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio the US’s representatives in Milan.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the ceremony IOC President Kirsty Coventry, was quizzed on Vance’s attendance and whether she expects Team USA to be booed during the games.<\/p>\n

She responded: “I hope that the opening ceremony is seen by everyone as an opportunity to be respectful of each other.”<\/p>\n

However, Coventry’s hopes were immediately dismissed during the opening ceremony, as Vance was loudly booed by the crowd when shown on screen as the US athletes took to the stage.<\/p>\n

Viewers online were quick to react on social media including Americans, with one user writing: “USA got cheered loudly and when they showed JD Vance they immediately got booed loudly lmao.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “Team USA getting booed at the Winter Olympics. Is anyone surprised??”<\/p>\n

A third commented: “I feel so bad Team USA is probably getting booed cause of all the b******* here.”<\/p>\n

“Wowowowow Team USA getting booed during the opening ceremony parade. This is just an embarrassment,” another added.<\/p>\n

It’s not just fans in the stands and protestors on the streets standing up against the US, with Team GB athlete Gus Kenworthy making his opinion clear in a social media post.<\/p>\n

The freestyle skier shared a photo\u00a0where the words \u201cF*** Ice\u201d could be seen in urine on snow\u00a0<\/a>followed by a strongly worded caption.<\/p>\n

Part of Kenworthy’s caption read: \u201cInnocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
