What a trip! We’re one year out from the Winter #Olympics in #Italy, and I got to visit Milan and Cortina as they get ready. I saw the Dolomites, toured Olympic venues, interviewed medalists and hopefuls, and met NBC journalists including @craigmelvin. Can’t wait to go back! https://t.co/MbTVorVMEQ
