Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie Carry Torch

The Olympic flame has never been quite this hot.

Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie hit the streets of Feltre, Italy, Jan. 25, to serve as official torchbearers for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina in the lead-up to the sporting event.

During the latest stop in the torch relay—which kicked off in November and will conclude during the Games’ opening ceremony Feb. 6—Hudson, 24, and Connor, 25, donned matching all-white ensembles while walking with the flame, as seen in a video posted on the Olympics’ official Instagram page.

The duo appeared to be wholeheartedly embraced by the locals who joined in on the festivities. After an onlooker told Hudson, “Italy loves you a lot,” he held his hand to his heart as he replied, “I love Italy.”

And Connor certainly felt the love from the crowd as well, remarking in a clip on Milano Cortina’s Instagram Stories, “It’s a lot of people!”
