West College Scotland Student Worked as a Journalist at the 2026 Winter Olympics
West College Scotland is celebrating the achievements of NQ Creative Industries student Maksym Rozenko, originally from Ukraine, who worked as an accredited journalist at the XXV Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026.
Maksym, who studies at our Greenock campus, travelled to Italy in official WCS‑branded clothing to join the global press team covering the Games. The event, held from 6–22 February, brought together around 2,900 athletes from 92 countries. Team GB was represented by 53 Olympians across 11 sports, including 17 Scottish athletes, 10 of whom competed in curling.
They were supported by approximately 3,000 journalists and photographers from across the world. Maksym was the first West College Scotland student to cover the Olympics as an accredited journalist.
