Mikaela Shiffrin Aims for More Olympic Glory in 2026

The most decorated Alpine skier in history looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 Games.

Published on Feb. 9, 2026

Mikaela Shiffrin, the three-time Olympian from Edwards, Colorado, will compete in three events at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan as she seeks to add to her impressive tally of three Olympic medals (two gold, one silver). After a disappointing performance at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, where she failed to win a medal and did not finish in three of her six competitions, Shiffrin will look to reclaim her status as one of the top Alpine skiers in the world.

Why it matters

Shiffrin is widely regarded as the most decorated Alpine skier in history, with 108 World Cup wins, the most ever by any skier, male or female. Her ability to win races in all six World Cup disciplines makes her a unique and dominant force in the sport. After a rare Olympic letdown in 2022, her performance in 2026 will be closely watched as she aims to cement her legacy as one of the greatest Winter Olympians of all time.

The details

Shiffrin will compete in three events at the 2026 Winter Olympics: the women's team combined (slalom), women's giant slalom, and women's slalom. She will look to improve on her 2022 results, where she failed to win a medal and did not finish in three of her six competitions despite entering as a favorite in several events.
