I've been gone this weekend and haven't been able to watch much, but shocked to see Heo on top for the M 500m! Edit: And ironically, it's the first gold for USA this season, despite how good Stoddard and KSG are for the women.

Today's Gundersen LH in Ruka had the ski jump cancelled, so they're using yesterday's provisional results (PCR) to determine the start times.

Our first Snowboard competition in the books in Secret Garden. A Japanese sweep of the women's Big Air podium, and China with 1-2 for the Men, Japan taking third. Check Post 2 for full results.

And now one of Team USA's medal contenders is out with a torn ACL. Lauren Macuga was going to be doing the giant slalom today. Lauren Macuga injury: USA skiing loses 2026 Winter Olympics medal hopeful https://share.google/33AvEa2jGyjHqvRdV

Team USA 2026 Women - Annika Belshaw, Josie Johnson, Paige Jones Men - Kevin Bickner, Jason Colby, Tate Frantz History The only USA medal came the first time ski jumping was contested at the first Winter Olympics, back in 1924 Chamonix. It was a bronze, and interestingly enough, he wasn't awarded the medal until 50 years later when an error in calculations was discovered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_jumping_at_the_1924_Winter_Olympics#Results Based on last year's World Cup (zero medals), it doesn't seem like we have a lot of hope for the podium this year.

Slopestyle in Stubai only managed to get the W Qualis done. Grace Henderson and Marin Hamill made it into the Top 8.

Team USA 2026 2-Man: TBD 4-Man: Frank Del Duca / Josh Williamson / Boone Niederhofer / Bryan Sosoo, Kris Horn / Carsten Vissering / Hunter Powell / Caleb Furnell Woman Monobob: (I'd assume Armbruster Humphries, Love, and Meyers Taylor) 2-Woman: Kaillie Armbruster Humphries / Jasmine Jones, Kaysha Love / Azaria Hill, Elana Meyers Taylor / Jadin O’Brien History We've medaled every year since 2002, though Germany has been on top recently. We're 3rd overall historically.

Based on the results today from Finland, we have the Grand Prix Finals for Pairs set: Miura Riku & Kihara Ryuichi Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps Anastasiia Metelkina & Luka Berulava Sara Contii & Nicolo Macii Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nikita Volodin Maria Pavlova & Alexei Sviatchenko No American duo unfortunately, despite earning 3 medals in Pairs (including Silver and Bronze today)...just the math didn't work in our favor, and Kam & O'Shea had too many errors in their free skate today.

And looks like only Women's Qualis were able to happen. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/event-details.html?sectorcode=FS&eventid=57937&seasoncode=2026 Per results, they used the Quals results for the W final.

But Florian and Ro earned 5th in Mixed Team.

Glad to see Mystique Ro could come back after that first run to have a good try in Mixed Team. 5th for US. Post 2 updated with full results.

Austin Florian was 10th in Cortina, including marking a track record for the start time on each run.. Mystique Ro didn't have a good first run.

Team USA 2026 Men's - Austin Florian, Dan Barefoot Women's - Kelly Curtis, Mystique Ro Mixed Team - TBD History Our last medals were in 2014. Mystique Ro won Silver in the 2025 WCh. She and Austin Florian won Gold at the Mixed Team event.

For the first time in 20 years, John Shuster will not be representing the in curling. His team lost the US Olympic Trials last night against Team Casper, made up of younger men who watched Shuster as they grew up. It was a Best of 3 series, and apparently Team Shuster had a habit of losing Game 1...but this time, after losing Game 1 and winning Game 2, the magic finally wore off. Hopefully Team Casper will be able to snag one of the two spots remaining at the OQE coming soon! (Had Shuster won the trials, and had the US qualified, then he would be the sole curler to have competed in 6 Olympics..instead, he's tied with one other curler at 5.)

And mistakes continue... Down by 2 with 4 ends to go

And Shuster starts by giving Casper a steal...
