The 2026 Winter Olympics will feature a mix of rising stars and seasoned Olympians across winter sports. Some big names include past medalists and champions, though things can change leading up to the Games due to injuries or qualifiers. For example, two-time Olympic snowboarding champ Chloe Kim has been training hard but suffered a shoulder injury shortly before the Games, leaving fans wondering whether she’ll compete and defend her title. If she does compete, she could make history with a third gold in the halfpipe. Across sports, other top athletes in skiing, skating, and ice hockey will also draw attention. With over 90 countries sending competitors, there’s a huge depth of talent on display. The atmosphere in every venue is usually electric when well-known athletes take the stage. Keep an eye on official Olympic team announcements and qualifying events as the Games get closer. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
