Two-time Olympic gold medalist Jamie Anderson was notably absent from a U.S. Ski & Snowboard roster that was headlined by Olympic veterans Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin and Chloe Kim.
A legend coming out of retirement, a legend in her prime trying to erase bitter memories from four years ago and a future legend's health in doubt — these are just some of the storylines heading into the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics.

Wada is to investigate claims ski jumpers are injecting acid into their penises to game the suit-measuring system

‘Penis injection’ claims in Winter Olympics ski jumping investigated by Wada
Bild claims acid injections used to alter jumpers’ suits
‘If anything was to come to the surface we’d look at it’
During its 26-year history, the World Anti-Doping Agency has faced thousands of questions about athletes using illicit substances. Thursday, however, surely marked the first time it was asked whether ski jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further.
The Wada president Witold Banka’s reaction? “Ski jumping is very popular in Poland [Banka’s home country] so I promise you I’m going to look at it,” he said, with a wry smile.
As crazy as it sounds, there are broader concerns surrounding this issue – which has been dubbed “Penisgate” – after they were first reported by the German newspaper Bild.
Last year two of Norway’s Olympic medallists, Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, were given three-month suspensions after the team was found to have secretly adjusted the seams of their suits around the crotch area at the 2025 World Ski Championships.
