Who knew the Olympic flame could have that much heat?
“Heated Rivalry” stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie have officially arrived in Milan, Italy, and stepped into a historic role as torchbearers for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games!
In a series of social media posts shared by the official Milano Cortina and the Olympics, the on-screen partners were seen carrying the torch in Feltre, Italy, on the 49th leg of the torch relay, ahead of the Winter Games.
“Get in loser. We are going to @milanocortina2026,” the Olympics captioned its post.
In a separate post, the two actors were seen waving and smiling at the crowd. One onlooker could be heard saying, “Go papi, go papi!”
The organizing committee previously announced that the pair will take part in the torch relay ahead of the opening ceremony on February 6.
Hudson and Connor serve as the lead stars of the hit Canadian queer romance series “Heated Rivalry.” The show is based on Rachel Reid’s book and follows two rival male hockey stars, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who later engage in a secret off-ice relationship.
Meanwhile, this year’s Winter Olympics takes place in Milan, Italy, and will run from February 6 to 22.
