New Sports To Debut At 2026 Winter Olympics

This will be the first time the games are held in Milan, but the third time for Italy.

Italy is set to host the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina.

This will be the first time the games are held in Milan, but the third time for Italy. The Olympics were held in Cortina in 1956 and Turin in 2006.

The games are set to take place February 6-22 and several games are set to make their debut. That includes mixed team skeleton, women’s doubles luge, women’s large hill ski jumping and three events in the new sport of ski mountaineering: men’s sprint, women’s sprint and mixed relay.

As part of the changes, the alpine mixed team parallel event will be dropped. The new events are expected to be familiar to fans who follow the sports on the world cup level.
