The 2026 Winter Olympics, which opened on February 6 at Milan's San Siro Stadium, feature a series of alpine skiing competitions where athletes will compete for medals in distinct events. Compared to the previous Games, the number of competitions has decreased by one as the International Olympic Committee has removed the mixed team competition from the lineup. This change reflects ongoing adjustments in sports programming to stimulate excitement and competitiveness.

The new format for alpine skiing includes separate team competitions for men and women in the combination category. Countries will have the opportunity to nominate their best skiers for the downhill and slalom events, with the emphasis on specialists instead of a single athlete competing in both events. The first several events have been scheduled from February 7, starting with the men's downhill, followed by events for women and team competitions, showcasing a structured pathway to the medal rounds.

The early results highlight strong performances, with Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland and Breezy Johnson of the USA taking gold in their respective events. The competition's evolving structure is designed to attract wider audiences and enhance participation, underlining the importance of gender representation in high-stakes sports. As the games progress, fans can expect a riveting showcase of talent across these newly formatted events.
