2026 Olympics

Eighteen men and eighteen women will battle uphill and downhill for Olympic medals in ‘Skimo’ sprint races and a mixed gender relay as the alpine adventure sport is on course for its Olympic debut in February 2026.

British athletes are devastated by the shocking decision and vow to appeal, but it might be too late for the 2026 Cortina games.

The alpine mixed team event, one of the most exciting in the skiing lineup, has been nixed from the 2026 Olympics.
