Milan & Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026 Winter Olympics Sports List

Here are the 16 major sport categories for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy. Ski Mountaineering is the latest sport to be added to the program. It was the first new sport since the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 when skeleton was added.

The number of medal events for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics increased from 109 to 116, the most ever. In addition to the ski mountaineering medals, the other events added for 2026 are: men's and women's dual moguls, women's doubles luge, women's large hill ski jump, and mixed team skeleton.

In cross-country skiing, the women's mass start event will be held over 50km, not 30km as previously, to match the distance of the men's event.

In 2026, for the first time a sport will be conducted outside of the Winter Olympics host country. The sliding sports for Milan Cortina 2026 will be held outside of Italy, at a destination yet to be determined.
