Olympic Winter Games: Olympics 2026: All Alpine Ski Competitions in the Schedule

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games opened on February 6 at Milan's San Siro Stadium, providing a detailed schedule of the Alpine skiing events and outlining the favorites.

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games commenced on February 6, 2026, at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. This year's event includes a detailed schedule of Alpine skiing competitions, with ten events in total, where athletes will vie for Olympic medals. Notably, the International Olympic Committee has made some changes from the previous games, reducing the total number of competitions by omitting the mixed-team event.

One significant modification in the Alpine skiing format is the introduction of separate team competitions for men and women in the combination event. This allows nations to nominate their best athletes for the downhill and slalom races, marking a departure from past events where a single competitor would participate in both disciplines. The schedule highlights key events, including the men's downhill on February 7, where Swiss skier Franjo von Allmen took gold, and the women's downhill on February 8, won by Breezy Johnson from the USA.

The competition structure reflects an evolving approach to the Winter Olympics, pushing for more inclusivity and gender representation in sports. The outlined events also showcase the participating countries' strengths, with teams like Switzerland and Austria already demonstrating their prowess early in the games. As the Olympics progress, the focus will remain on how athletes adapt to the schedule and the potential for new records in Alpine skiing.
