What to know about skeleton at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Team USA’s skeleton program enters the Games with growing confidence and real medal aspirations in a sport defined by razor-thin margins. Skeleton races are decided over four runs, often separated by hundredths of a second, with explosive starts and precision driving critical to success. While European powers such as Austria and Germany — led by perennial winners like Janine Flock, Christopher Grotheer, and Axel Jungk — have set the benchmark on the IBSF World Cup circuit, the Americans steadily have closed the gap over the past season.
On the women’s side, Mystique Ro has emerged as the standard-bearer for the U.S., finishing the past World Cup season with multiple podiums and establishing herself as a regular threat against Europe’s top sliders. Her powerful starts and improved consistency have positioned her firmly in the Olympic medal conversation. Behind her, Kelly Curtis has shown flashes of potential, most recently claiming the silver medal at the St. Moritz World Cup.
In men’s skeleton, Austin Florian leads the American contingent after a breakthrough season that included podium finishes and career-best World Cup results. He is joined by Dan Barefoot, who brings Olympic experience and proven top-ten potential on the World Cup circuit.
The mixed team skeleton event will make its Olympic debut in Milan Cortina. The United States has been one of the most consistent programs in the format over the past two seasons, with Ro and Florian regularly paired together on the IBSF World Cup circuit. The duo has finished on the podium multiple times and captured a world championship title in the mixed team event, establishing themselves as one of the discipline’s most reliable pairings.
