Overview

After making its debut at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Olympics, Alpine skiing has become one of the most popular sports at the Winter Games. 

The sport is expected to once again provide some of the most entertaining events in Milan Cortina. 

At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Alpine skiing competition will include the two speed disciplines (downhill and super-G), two technical disciplines (slalom and giant slalom), and the combined events. The mixed team event has been dropped from the Olympic program. 

In the men's and women's combined events, two athletes per country will race in one discipline each (downhill and slalom) with the combined results determining the winner. This format is different than the combined event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, when the same athlete competed in the two disciplines.
