Olympic Winter Games: Olympics 2026: All Alpine Skiing Competitions Scheduled

The Olympic Winter Games 2026 commenced on February 6 in Milan, featuring a revised schedule for Alpine skiing competitions with notable changes including the removal of the mixed team event.

The Olympic Winter Games 2026 were inaugurated at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan on February 6. This year's Alpine skiing schedule includes competitions in ten events, a reduction from previous editions as the International Olympic Committee decided to eliminate the mixed team competition. The focus this year is on the individual skills of the athletes, with special emphasis on team events in both men's and women's categories.

For the first time, the men's and women's competitions in Alpine skiing will have separate team events for both downhill and slalom disciplines, allowing nations to nominate specialists for each race. The schedule provides an overview of the competing dates, where athletes will vie for Olympic medals across various races, including the men's and women's downhill events and the newly implemented team combination slalom races.

Overall, the Alpine skiing competitions at the 2026 Winter Olympics promise to bring thrilling performances and heightened competition given the new format, as nations aim to leverage their strongest athletes in the revised individual and team formats. The adjustments this season highlight the sports evolving nature and the IOC's drive to keep the competitions fresh and engaging for both participants and viewers alike.
