In a heartfelt statement, two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin thanked Comcast for its role in delivering the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games to viewers across the United States. The alpine skiing superstar emphasized the broader significance of the Games, highlighting national unity and support for Team USA athletes.
“It’s bigger than the competition,” Shiffrin said. “It’s about uniting us behind Team USA.”
As a prominent member of the U.S. Olympic alpine team and one of the most decorated skiers in history—with records including the most World Cup wins ever—Shiffrin is preparing for her fourth Winter Olympics next month in Italy. Comcast, through its Xfinity brand and long-standing partnership with Team USA (including as an official communications provider), continues to support athletes and fans by providing connectivity, coverage via NBC and Peacock, and initiatives like financial assistance to help Olympians stay connected during their pursuits.
Shiffrin’s comments underscore the spirit of teamwork and national pride as American athletes gear up for the February 6–22 Games, where she enters as a top contender in slalom and other events following her dominant pre-Olympic season.
