On Tuesday, the women's team event in the Alpine skiing segment of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics is set to take place, with a live broadcast starting at 11:25 AM on ETV2 and ERR's sports portal. The coverage will be provided by commentators Helar Osila and Laur Mägi. This event marks the first time that a team competition is part of the Olympic program, building on the previous day's mixed team event. Each team will consist of one speed skier and one slalom skier, with their times combined to determine the aggregate score.

Notably, American skiers Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin earned the gold medal in this event at last year's World Championships, while Swiss competitors Lara Gut-Behrami and Wendy Holdener took the silver, and Austria's Stephanie Venier and Katharina Truppe won bronze. Both Johnson and Shiffrin will compete in this Tuesday's event, with Johnson already crowned an Olympic champion in speed skiing, and Shiffrin being a dominant force in the slalom World Cup series, making them favorites ahead of the competition.

Despite a serious fall in November, Gut-Behrami is also expected to compete, adding an element of suspense to the final lineup and the competition itself. The introduction of this new team event at the Olympics emphasizes the ongoing evolution and diversification of winter sports, as the International Olympic Committee continues to innovate by incorporating more mixed-gender competitions and unique formats, engaging a broader audience and setting the stage for exciting sporting drama.
