From presenting at the Golden Globes to making their rounds at men’s fashion week, Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are simply everywhere. Over the weekend, the duo were even spotted in northern Italy, where they served as torch bearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
On Sunday, Williams and Storrie held their torches high as they processed through streets thronged with cheering fans in Feltre, Italy. (Other torch bearers along the route included tennis player Jasmine Paolini and ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon.)
Heated Rivalry—their Crave TV show following the rivals-to-lovers story of two pro hockey stars—has become one of the most-watched shows of the past year. Yet for Sunday’s relay, they traded in their jerseys for matching white tracksuits, accessorizing the gear with cozy gloves and snow boots.
“This is crazy,” Williams remarks in a video posted by the Olympics. When a fan declares that Italy loves him, he responds, “I love Italy!”
The 2026 Winter Olympic Games will take place from February 6 to February 22, and feature star athletes from a variety of winter sports, including alpine skiing, biathlon, figure skating, ice hockey, and snowboarding. If torch-bearing were itself an Olympic discipline, Williams and Storrie would certainly be on the podium.
