The 2026 Winter Olympics will include traditional winter sports like alpine skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, ice hockey, bobsleigh, luge, and cross-country skiing. Some new events and formats are being introduced, including ski-mountaineering, which is making its Olympic debut and features “uphill and downhill” ski racing. Most of the mountain sports happen in the Dolomites and Alpine venues like Livigno and Bormio, while ice events like hockey and skating are clustered around Milan’s arenas. Curling, speed skating, and other classic winter sports also take place in purpose-built or upgraded venues for the Games. With 116 medal events, the schedule is packed and diverse, offering a mix of speed, skill, teamwork, and individual performances. The Games celebrate both high-octane competition and Olympic tradition. Many competitions happen at high altitudes or in snowy terrain, so weather and conditions can play a big role. Athletes from around the world compete, making it one of the most watched sporting spectacles on the planet. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
