Mikaela Shiffrin, the most decorated alpine skier in history with over 100 World Cup victories and two Olympic gold medals, is set to compete in her fourth Winter Games at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. The American star, who turns 31 during the Games, has opted for a focused program following challenges in Beijing 2022—where she entered six events but finished without a medal—and recent injuries from crashes.
Shiffrin will race in three events: the new women’s team combined (featuring a slalom leg for her), women’s giant slalom, and women’s slalom. This streamlined schedule emphasizes her technical strengths in slalom and giant slalom, where she remains dominant on the World Cup circuit. She will make her Olympic debut in the team combined event, partnering with speed specialists like teammate Breezy Johnson, as the U.S. team aims to leverage its mix of technical and speed talent.
All of Shiffrin’s races are scheduled in Cortina d’Ampezzo on the demanding Olimpia delle Tine slope. Times are listed below in Eastern Time (ET) for U.S. viewers, with conversions from local Central European Time (CET) where noted. Note that alpine skiing events can be weather-dependent, so check official sources for any adjustments.
