Milano Cortina 2026 - Team USA - Ski Mountaineering


Recommended Posts

Team USA 2026

 

Men - Cam Smith

 

Women - Anna Gibson

 

History

 

This is a new sport to the Olympics.  Smith and Gibson paired up in December and won Gold in the Mixed Relay in Solitude.  The other nations didn't have their A Team, I don't think, but it was nice to see some success.  We'll see what happens!

Going to go through sport by sport and offer my thoughts on our performance...starting with SkiMo:

 

1) Not related to Team USA, but the sprints just seemed kinda...short.  Ok, yes, they're sprints, but the relay course was twice as long, and they had to do that twice.  I would say that they should do the relay course for the sprints, too, but that might be too much given the knock-out formula.

 

2) I think the commentators noted that Cam Smith was better at a longer distance, and that was evident by his and Anna Gibson's 4th place in the relay.  Color me impressed!

 

3) Additionally, they both made it to the finals of the sprints.  I think things are definitely looking good looking into 2030 and 2034.

Yeah they can get rid of the sprint. Too short.

 

The mixed relay was fun and there was some changes in the leaderboard. Happy with our result in 4th especially considering Gibson is pretty new to the sport.

 

I'm fine if they keep this sport, but get rid of the sprint. Races should be 30 min or longer.

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
    • We can be embarrassed together.
    • God, I hope so. I just want a pro-European government, that's all. Man, we're tired.
    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.
