The first alpine skiing medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics will be handed out on Saturday in the men's downhill.

Just two months ago, Vonn became the oldest downhill skiing World Cup winner in St. Moritz, her first victory since 2018 and her 83rd overall. And she didn’t just win by the skin of her teeth; she set herself from the field by two-hundredths from a full second.

The Alpine skiing competition begins Saturday. Here's everything you need to know about the men's and women's programs.

Competing in the snowboard big air final, Team USA's Ollie Martin stomped a backside 1980 on his second run in Cortina. The Vail native redeemed himself on his second run with a respectable score of 79.50. He’ll need to go even bigger in his third and final run to knock off the competition.
