At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, Romane Miradoli made history by winning the silver medal in the Super-G event, a significant achievement for both her and French Alpine skiing. At the age of 31, this medal marks Miradoli's first Olympic podium finish, and she becomes the first French woman in Alpine skiing to earn an Olympic medal in 24 years, highlighting her perseverance and skill. Italy’s Federica Brignone took gold, making a remarkable comeback just months after recovering from a severe leg injury.

In addition to Miradoli's success, the Olympic Games witnessed a mix of emotions for the French team. Aidan Chollet fell short in the snowboard cross final, finishing in a disappointing fourth place despite leading the race until nearly the end, where he was overtaken in the final turn. This outcome underscores the competitive nature of the sport and the thin margins that can separate victory from near victory.

Meanwhile, the French men’s hockey team faced a tough start, losing 4-0 to Switzerland in their opening match of the tournament. The team will need to regroup and reset their strategy moving forward to stay in contention for the medal race. Additionally, Léonie Perry’s performance in the women’s 10km individual event, where she finished in 10th place, rounds out a day of mixed results for the French Athletes as they strive for Olympic glory in Milan-Cortina.
