Short-track speed skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics will be held at the Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milano, Italy, during the Milano Cortina 2026 Games from around February 10 to February 20, 2026. There are nine medal events in total: four for men, four for women, and one mixed team relay, blending sprint races with team action. The men’s events include the 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m, and the 5000 m relay, while the women’s include the 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m, and the 3000 m relay. A mixed team relay (2000 m) also adds a tactical, fast-paced race where two women and two men alternate laps, making for exciting team competition. The short track discipline is known for tight packs of skaters racing on a short 111 m oval, where speed, strategy, and split-second moves often lead to thrilling finishes and sometimes dramatic crashes. Qualification to the Olympics is based on World Cup standings and other international results, drawing the world’s best skaters to compete. Fans can expect head-to-head heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals across the schedule, keeping energy high throughout the event. With its fast action and frequent lead changes, short-track speed skating remains one of the most entertaining and unpredictable sports at the Winter Games.
