Mikaela Shiffrin, the winningest Alpine skier of all time, will compete in three events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics as she seeks to overcome her setback at the 2022 Beijing Games. Despite being the favorite for multiple events, the three-time Olympian failed to medal and did not finish in three of the six events she competed in during the 2022 Olympics.

Why it matters

Shiffrin is considered one of the greatest skiers of all time, with 108 World Cup wins, the most by any male or female skier. Her failure to medal at the 2022 Olympics was a surprise, and she will be looking to redeem herself and cement her legacy as an Olympic champion at the 2026 Games.

The details

Shiffrin will compete in three events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics: the women's team combined, the Slalom, and the Giant Slalom. She is the only person to have won a race in each of the World Cup's six disciplines (downhill, super-G, slalom, giant slalom, combined, and parallel).

• The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics will take place in 2026.
• Shiffrin failed to medal and did not finish in three of the six events she competed in at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

What’s next
