Team USA alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, one of the all-time greats of the sport, is looking to bounce back at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.
The four-time Olympian failed to medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing but is still considered among the favorites for a gold medal in her three core events – slalom, giant slalom and another slalom run as part of the team combined event.

Shiffrin competed in all six events in 2022 but cut her schedule down to her three best events for 2026 as she looks to get back on the podium. The 30-year-old is the only alpine skier in world history with 100 or more wins and is a five-time World Cup champion.
The youngest slalom gold medalist in Olympic history (18 years old in 2014) is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars in Italy the next few weeks.
Here's what to know of Shiffrin, one of Team USA's top contenders for a medal this year:
Shiffrin has two gold medals, winning slalom in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and giant slalom in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. She also has a silver medal from the combined team event in 2018.
Shiffrin, despite being the favorite for her core slalom events in 2022, failed to medal at her third Olympic Games.
Shiffrin, perhaps the greatest alpine skier ever, has 108 career World Cup wins, 93 of which have come in slalom and giant slalom. Her 108 World Cup wins are the most by any skier – men's or women's – ever.
Shiffrin also has 15 combined World Cup wins in downhill, super-G, combined and parallel in her career. She made her World Cup debut in 2011 when she was 15 years old and has won five overall titles since.
