The Tamesis
From the Golden Globe Awards to the Men’s Fashion Week Tour, fierce competition Stars Hudson Williams and Connor Story are everywhere. The pair were even spotted in northern Italy over the weekend, serving as torchbearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
On Sunday, Williams and Story carried the torch aloft through the streets of Feltre, Italy, packed with cheering fans. (Other torchbearers along the way include tennis player Jasmine Paolini and ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon.)

fierce competitionTheir Crave TV show, which follows two professional hockey stars from rivals to lovers, has become one of the most-watched shows of the past year. However, for Sunday’s relay race, they swapped their jerseys for matching white tracksuits and accessorized their gear with comfortable gloves and snow boots.
“This is crazy,“ Williams made the remarks in a video released by the Olympics. When one fan declared that Italy loved him, he replied: “I love Italy!“
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be held from February 6 to 22, bringing together star athletes from a variety of winter sports including alpine skiing, biathlon, figure skating, ice hockey and snowboarding. If the torch relay were an Olympic sport in its own right, Williams and Story would surely be on the podium.
