Team USA’s Chris Lillis led the Americans with an eighth-place finish in the men’s Olympic aerials on Friday, battling windy, snowy conditions in a challenging competition. Lillis entered the event seeking redemption after his sixth place finish in the 2022 Olympics. 

"I definitely gave it all I got. That's for sure," said Lillis. "You don't come into the Olympics with anything less than 100%. With that being said, redemption might have to wait." 

China’s Xindi Wang won the gold medal, landing a near-perfect jump to score 132.60. Switzerland’s Noe Roth finished second with a 131.58, while fellow Chinese aerialist Tianama Li rounded out the podium with a bronze medal score of 123.93.

Team USA’s Derek Krueger placed 11th, with teammate Connor Curran just behind in 12th. Both were unable to land a clean jump and break into the top six needed to advance to the super finals. 

Team USA's Quinn Dehlinger was unable to compete in his Olympic debut due to a knee injury sustained during training in Livigno.

Jess Perlmutter led Team USA in women's snowboard slopestyle with a sixth place finish on Wednesday at the Olympics in Livigno, Italy. 

The 16-year-old New Jersey native has taken the snowboard world by storm, making her Olympic debut in 2026 and earning a score of 68.18. Although she missed the podium, the young athlete is proving that her talent, composure and fearless approach mark her as one to watch in future competitions.

Perlmutter's 16-year-old teammate Lily Dhawornvej finished out the women's snowboard slopestyle finals in 11th place after having difficulty on the course and was unable to finish a complete clean run. However, both athletes making the finals at their young age is a milestone they and Team USA can be proud of, and hints at good things to come. 

Mari Fukada from Japan put down three impressive runs to take the gold medal, earning a score of 87.83. Five-time Olympic medalist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott earned her second silver medal of the games with a score of 87.48 and Japan's Kokomo Murase rounded out the podium with a score of 85.80, her second medal of the games as well after earning gold in women's snowboard big air.

Kuhn ended qualifiers in sixth place before earning a top-three score in the first final to send her into the superfinal, where she finished fifth.

Team USA’s Winter Vinecki also qualified for superfinals, finishing in sixth place. Tasia Tanner made it through to finals to earn an 11th place finish, and Kyra Dossa finished qualification in 14th, narrowly missing finals.

Mikaela Shiffrin won the gold medal in women's slalom at the Olympics on Wednesday afternoon, making history by becoming the most decorated U.S. alpine skier in Olympic history, holding the record for the most Olympic gold medals (three) and tying skiing legend Julia Mancuso for most Olympic medals by a U.S. woman in alpine skiing with four. 

Shiffrin attacked from the start, setting the tone in the first run to take the lead and followed up on it with a clean, confident second run on a demanding course that challenged the field. Her combined time put her more than a second ahead of Swiss skier Camille Rast, who claimed silver, while Sweden’s Anna Swenn Larsson rounded out the podium in bronze.

Shiffrin's gold silenced the critics and thrilled her fans and supporters. She is a force to be reckoned with in World Cup racing, having accumulated 108 World Cup wins and shattering the previous record for 86 victories set by Ingemar Stenmark, and although she came into Cortina with three Olympic medals, she struggled at the Beijing Olympics with DNFs in three events. The win proves her grit and determination to keep pushing, and cements her legacy as the greatest of all time, with four medals to her name: three golds (slalom, 2014; giant slalom, 2018; slalom, 2026) and one silver (combined, 2018).

"I think there's many people who can take that title (the GOAT) and many were skiing today," said Shiffrin. "This is a sport where we get to share the beautiful feelings. Even if one can be on the top of the podium, we share it together." 

And Shiffrin didn’t only win Gold in Cortina, she absolutely won by a massive 1.5 second margin. In fact, her 1.5-second victory is the biggest winning margin in Olympic slalom since Swiss skier Vreni Schneider won by 1.68 seconds at the 1998 Games in Calgary. Her 1.5-second win nearly exceeded the combined winning margins of the 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 Olympic women's slalom races combined (1.51 seconds). Additionally, at 30 years and 342 days, she became the second-oldest woman to win Olympic slalom gold, 12 years after becoming the youngest. And, she became the oldest American woman to win Olympic gold in alpine skiing. 

Team USA’s Paula Moltzan finished in eighth, with the fastest second run of the day, attacking from a disappointing 29th place result after first run. The race capped off a stellar Olympic Games that included a medal in the team combined with teammate Jackie Wiles.

"I think you have to experience the emotions as they come because if you keep them inside, it's going to hold you back." said Moltzan. "A lot of emotion comes from feeling like you let your family down that traveled so far to cheer you on, so for me I just let it all out and then move forward."

AJ Hurt was 19th and was thrilled with her result.

"I'm happy with finding the finish two months in a row," said Hurt. "It's been a while since I've done that. The second run was pretty turny so it wasn't really my style but still happy with my skiing and happy to be here." 

 Nina O'Brien did not finish the first run.

The women’s slalom marked the final alpine race of the Olympic program, bringing the Games to an emotional close. Over two weeks of competition, Team USA accumulated four medals in alpine skiing: Breezy Johnson won gold in downhill, Moltzan and Wiles took bronze in the team combined, Ryan Cochran-Siegle was silver in the super-G and Shiffrin golden in slalom.

Team USA's Jake Canter won the bronze medal in the men's snowboard slopestyle on Wednesday in his Olympic debut, putting together a huge third run to get onto the podium. 

In his typical fashion, it was never over for Canter. After overcoming multiple injuries, including a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma and led many to doubt he’d snowboard again, his grit and determination shone through. Sitting off the podium after his first two runs, Canter surged into medal position on his third, delivering an impressive run that earned the second-highest score of the round and third-highest of the day with a 79.36, leapfrogging him onto the podium.

"It makes it all worth it, it's unbelievable," said Canter. "I really just hope I made 13-year-old me laying in that hospital bed proud. This is for him and everyone that's supported me, for my parents who have supported me through everything even when so many doctors told me I'd never ski again. So to be here at the Olympics on the biggest stage in unbelievable." 

China’s five-time Olympic medalist Su Yiming won gold with a score of 82.41, earning his second medal of the 2026 Olympic Games. Taiga Hasegawa of Japan claimed silver with a score of 82.13 in his Olympic debut, while the USA’s Jake Canter rounded out the podium with bronze. 

Team USA had a solid showing in the event, with Red Gerard finishing in sixth place and 17-year-old Ollie Martin earning ninth. Both had strong runs, but some small mistakes, which left them off the podium.

In a historic day for Team USA, two best friends who have grown up together, raced together and dreamed together did what everybody knew was possible — win an Olympic team medal. 

Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher of Team USA skied a historic team sprint on Wednesday to earn a first ever men's Olympic team sprint medal for the United States, delivering a composed, high-powered performance when it mattered most. 

It was Ogden's second Olympic medal of the Games, having won silver in the classic sprint.

Team Norway won the gold medal with a time of 18 minutes and 28.98 seconds, with Norwegian powerhouse Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo winning his fifth gold medal of these games. Team USA took the silver with a quick time of 18 minutes and 30.35 seconds and the Italians came in third place to secure a bronze medal with a time of 18 minutes and 32.29 seconds. 

"It's insanely fun to do this with your best friend," said Ogden. "Back in the days, we'd go back and forth with winning and it's so incredible to do it with a teammate and today's memories are some I'll never forget." 

The historic silver medal by Team USA was one earned not only by quick skiing but impressive tactical teamwork put together by Ogden and Schumacher. On a course that offers no rest, it took absolutely everything to reach the podium. Everything is what Ogden and Schumacher gave.

"I think this era of U.S. skiing started a while ago," Schumacher said. "But it's cool to prove it to everyone at the Olympics that we're in the era." 

Team USA's Jessie Diggins and Julia Kern earned a fifth place finish in the women's team sprint free on Wednesday at the Olympics. This was Diggins’ final Olympic team sprint.  

Team Sweden won gold, Switzerland was silver and Germany bronze.

Mac Forehand put together three incredible runs in the finals to lead Team USA to another medal, taking home silver in men's big air at the Livigno Snow Park in Livigno, Italy on Tuesday night. 

Forehand delivered standout performances on the big air jump in both the qualifying round and the finals. He secured the top score in Sunday night’s qualifiers and carried that momentum into the finals. The silver marks the Connecticut natives' first Olympic medal in his second Olympic appearance. He competed at the 2022 Games, where he finished 11th in the big air.

"I'm just happy to walk away alive from that event," said Forehand. "It was super heavy and people were going crazy so I'm just happy to walk away and be okay and with a silver medal is pretty cool as well." 

The second-place score for Forehand came in at 193.25 after putting down three clean runs. Edging him out to win gold was Norway's Tormod Frostad with a score of 195.50 and rounding out the podium with the bronze medal was Matej Svancer from Austria with a 191.25. 

"I knew I didn't have a chance to podium, I would've needed a 120 or something impossible," said Ralph. "I was just up there and thought this is a good time to try and learn a new trick on my third run that I've never done and I feel pretty good and happy about it"

Team USA's Troy Podmilsak just missed the podium, placing in fourth with Konnor Ralph bouncing back after a fall on his second run to earn a fifth-place finish.
