At Milano Cortina 2026, Mikaela Shiffrin is set to compete in her fourth Olympic Winter Games.
The 30-year-old made her debut in Sochi 2014, becoming the youngest Olympic slalom champion. Four years later, in PyeongChang, she added a gold (giant slalom) and a silver (individual combined) to her medal tally. At Beijing 2022, Shiffrin competed in all six events on the Alpine skiing programme but failed to finish two events, ending up without a medal.
In Cortina, Shiffrin claimed her first World Cup Super-G win in 2019 and also secured three medals – including gold in the combined – at the 2021 World Championships.
In her last race at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre, the Colorado-born star crashed during the downhill event in January 2024, forcing her to miss several weeks of racing.
Although she hasn’t revealed her full schedule for the 2026 Winter Olympics, Shiffrin is slated to compete in three disciplines, making her Olympic debut in the team event, where she is the reigning world champion along with teammate Breezy Johnson. If she medals in all three events, the U.S. star would join Janica Kostelić (four golds) and Anja Pärson (one gold) at the top of the all-time women’s medal list with six.
