 Angelina Jolie says her “fighting spirit is finally back” as her children help her rebuild after health struggles Angelina Jolie has spoken openly about how her six children have helped her regain strength after a difficult stretch marked by health challenges and the end of her marriage. Speaking to Variety, the 51-year-old actress said she feels like she is slowly returning to herself again while discussing her new film Couture, which explores illness and identity in a way that closely mirrors parts of her own journey. “I think my fighting spirit is finally back,” Jolie said. “I lost it for a bit. I got kind of taken down a little bit and it’s coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it.” In the film, Jolie portrays an American director working in Europe who receives a breast cancer diagnosis while on assignment for a fashion project.  The story reflects themes that have personal meaning for her, especially given her own decision in...

 Officials promise repairs for damaged Olympians' medals

  Olympics officials say a solution has been found for the broken medals that have frustrated athletes in Milan.

Several competitors at the Winter Games have seen their celebrations cut short when their medals snapped off their ribbons and fell to the ground. Following a review, Games spokesperson Luca Cassasa announced that a fix is now in place. “After reports of issues affecting a small number of medals, the organizing committee immediately investigated, working closely with the State Mint, which produced the medals,” Cassasa said at the daily briefing. “Athletes whose medals have been damaged are asked to return them so they can be repaired and promptly returned.”

Team USA gold medalist Breezy Johnson experienced a break in her medal while celebrating her downhill skiing victory, but she had already received a replacement by the time of the combined team event. “They don’t, like, let you have multiple of those things,” she joked. Figure skater Alysa Liu also had a gold medal detach from its ribbon during the team event and received a replacement before her interview on Monday.

This is the second consecutive Olympics where medal issues have affected athletes. At the 2024 Paris Games, some medals had to be replaced after complaints of tarnishing or corrosion, which gave them a mottled appearance.

Regarding composition, Olympic gold medals are no longer solid gold. They are made primarily of pure silver (at least 92.5%) and coated with 6 grams of gold. Milan Cortina medals feature 99.9% pure silver and 99.9% pure gold plating. Bronze medals at these Winter Games consist of 420 grams of copper, unlike previous editions, which included a mix of copper, tin, and other metals. The gold-and-silver medals weigh just over a pound each.

Biting into medals, a common celebratory gesture, is a nod to the days when Olympic gold medals were entirely solid gold.
