Mikaela Shiffrin finished 11th in the women’s giant slalom at the 2026 Winter Olympics alpine skiing competition in Milano Cortina. The two-time Olympic gold medallist and eight-time world champion missed the podium but described the performance as a powerful step forward in her comeback journey.
Competing in one of her signature disciplines, Shiffrin led the United States contingent in Sunday’s race but ended outside the top 10. At 30, she arrived in Italy targeting a third Olympic gold medal in the 2026 Winter Olympics alpine skiing programme. She already holds the record for the most World Cup wins by any alpine skier, male or female, and remains the only athlete to reach 100 victories on the circuit.
Although she did not contend for medals in the giant slalom, the result carries added significance following adversity over the past year. In November 2024, Shiffrin crashed during a giant slalom race, puncturing her abdomen in a fall that caused visible bleeding through her ski suit. She later revealed lingering trauma from the incident, admitting it affected her confidence on the slopes. Her return to Olympic-level giant slalom competition at Milano Cortina marks a notable recovery milestone.
Teammates Paula Moltzan and Nina O’Brien finished 15th and 20th respectively, as Team USA fell short of the podium in the event.
Shiffrin reflected positively after the race, praising the level of competition and noting how close she is to the fastest women in the field.
She is next scheduled to compete in the women’s slalom on February 18, with run one at 4am ET and run two at 7:30am ET. The slalom is historically one of her strongest events and presents another opportunity at the 2026 Winter Olympics alpine skiing competition.
In the United States, coverage of the Milano Cortina Games is available on NBC and USA Network, with streaming via Peacock. Stay informed with verified updates.
