When does Olympic Alpine skiing start? Here's the full schedule

[ASFN Admin]

Alpine skiing is one of the signature sports at the Winter Olympics, and it will be no different at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games.

American stars such as Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn are among the headliners taking to the slopes in search of gold. They'll be competing against the world's greatest skiers, with the picturesque mountains in two different regions of Italy serving as a fitting backdrop.

Women's events at the Milano Cortina Olympics will take place at Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo, while the men will speed down the slopes of Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio.
