The AP drew backlash for noting white dominance in 2026 Winter Olympics teams, sparking debate over diversity, meritocracy, and access.
The Associated Press drew criticism for highlighting the lack of ethnic diversity among winter sports teams at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, noting that countries like Sweden, France, Germany, and Switzerland have predominantly white teams despite significant immigrant populations.
The article attributed the disparity to geographic, climatic, and cultural barriers, citing limited access to winter sports in warmer regions and lower participation among children of immigrants unfamiliar with the sports.
Critics dismissed the focus as misplaced, arguing that national teams are selected based on athletic performance, not demographics, and mocked the idea that winter sports should reflect population diversity.
The debate reignited broader discussions about meritocracy, representation, and the role of environmental factors in shaping athletic participation.
