The 2026 Winter Olympics were officially opened on February 6 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, showcasing a range of sporting events, with a particular focus on Alpine skiing. This year, there will be ten Alpine skiing competitions, a slight reduction from previous games as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has eliminated the mixed team event from the lineup. This change allows for more specialized participation from nations, which can nominate specific athletes for the downhill and slalom races rather than relying on a single competitor for both disciplines.

The competition schedule includes several key events starting with the men's downhill race on February 7, followed by the women's downhill on February 8. The introduction of individual team competitions for both men and women adds excitement and strategic depth, as countries can now field their best specialists for different events. The team combination event in slalom is scheduled for February 9 for men and February 10 for women, allowing for a showcase of talent across gender lines.

With favorites emerging from various nations, including Franjo von Allmen from Switzerland and Breezy Johnson from the USA, the Alpine events are expected to be fiercely competitive. The collaborative efforts among participating countries will be essential as they aim for medals in this prestigious international arena, highlighting the growing importance of team dynamics in winter sports.
