Jackie Wiles led the way for Team USA, finishing 13th in the Olympic Super-G on Thursday in Cortina, Italy. Keely Cashman was 15th.

"The conditions definitely felt a little bit softer and peelier," said Wiles. "But I still think that the track held up pretty well and was really nice to ski." 

It was a challenging day on the Tofane with almost 50% of the field not making it to the finish line. The weather and changing conditions made it difficult for the women to push hard and recover from mistakes. Nonetheless, the women pushed the limits as they all chased an opportunity to medal. 

"I had high expectations for today and just kind of didn't happen how I wanted it to. But that's ski racing," said Cashman. 

Italy’s Frederica Brignone won an emotional gold medal for the host country, just nine months after suffering season-ending injuries at the Italian championships. She had only returned to World Cup racing just a couple of weeks ago. Her winning time was one minute, 23.41 seconds. Romane Miradoli of France took the silver at 0.41 back. Austria’s Cornelia Huetter won the bronze at 0.52 back.

The silver lining for the U.S. team was when Olympic gold medalist Breezy Johnson was proposed to by her now fiancé in the finish area in front of teammates, friends and family. It was an emotional moment for the medalist, who caps off a successful Olympic run now with a diamond ring. 

"I always dreamed of getting proposed to at the Olympics," said Johnson. "I have been planning this for a year, it was a challenge but I had a lot of people helping me so it paid off and we are happy," said Connor Watkins, Johnson's fiance. 

The course proved difficult for many racers, including Team USA's Breezy Johnson and Mary Bocock. However, Bocock was all smiles as she made her Olympic debut with family in the stands. 

"My Olympic experience has been awesome," said Bocock. "I have a huge group of people here cheering me on, which is nice of them to come. I do wish you could have made it down, but that's okay."

This race marks the end of the women's speed races. Now we turn to tech the women's giant slalom on Sunday, and the slalom on Tuesday.

Women's Olympic super-G

On a sunny day in Bormio, Italy, Team USA alpine athlete Ryan Cochran-Siegle earned his second career silver medal in the men’s super-G, racing in front of family and friends lining the course, including his Olympic champion mom. This marks his second medal four years later in the same event. 

"I was really happy with my ski today," said Cochran-Siegle. "I felt like I went out there, skied with a lot of heart and just the focus that I've been doing consistently from top to bottom. It's a great place to do it, I feel like I really embraced the slope and the way the snow was and the course set. But the meaning? It hasn't set in. I did not expect this."

Bormio is known as one of the most challenging and technical tracks on the circuit, a venue well-suited to Cochran-Siegle’s strengths. Starting early with bib three, he took full advantage of the clean course conditions and attacked from the top. After a disappointing downhill earlier in the week, Cochran-Siegle was fired up and ready to push full gas.

From the opening turns Cochran-Siegle showed precise, smooth skiing, carrying strong speed through the gliding sections while staying composed on the technical features. His efficient line allowed him to maintain momentum all the way to the finish, where he initially landed in the lead and put pressure on the remaining contenders.

Cochran-Siegle was ultimately edged out by Swiss standout Franjo von Allmen, who claimed gold by just 0.13 seconds to become a three-time Olympic champion. Still, the silver medal marked a major moment for Cochran-Siegle, reinforcing his status as one of the world’s most consistent speed skiers on the sport’s biggest stage.

"I spent a lot of time in bed the last few days. Yesterday I got a little frustrated, I didn't feel I was where I wanted to be and just tried to do what I could do to give myself the opportunity today. I went through warm ups, kind of felt more like myself today and it just made me think about the skiing itself. And it took the pressure off me as well."

The result adds to an already impressive Olympic résumé for Cochran-Siegle and continues a strong showing for the U.S. men’s speed team in Bormio. With his trademark determination and ability to rise in high-pressure moments, Cochran-Siegle once again proved he belongs among the very best in alpine skiing.

Swiss phenom Franjo von Allmen took gold, while fellow Swiss skier Marco Odermatt rounded out the podium in bronze.

Teammates Sam Morse and Kyle Negomir also competed in the super-G, finishing 23rd and 26th, respectively. River Radamus did not finish the race but is OK.

“The track was super fun to ski,” said Morse. “Very happy for Ryan, to back up his silver today is impressive.” 

The final men’s alpine events of the Games will be the giant slalom and slalom on February 14 and 15.

Men's super-G

Jackie Wiles and Paula Moltzan, representing Team USA 2, won the bronze medal in the team combined at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, on Tuesday. Team USA 1 of Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin, finished fourth. 

It was the first time the women's team combined had been competed at the Olympics, a race that combines one athlete running a downhill and another athlete doing a slalom, and Team USA brought heavy hitters in each of the four teams. In the downhill, Olympic downhill champion from just two days prior Breezy Johnson led the way again, taking first place. Jackie Wiles sat in fourth place.

The slalom was a tricky set by the Austrians, which resulted in quite a few DNFs, but Wiles' partner Moltzan powered down the course with ease to stick the team into second place. She met up with Wiles in the finish, and they played the waiting game while the next three teams came down. Wiles/Moltzan were bumped to third by Austria 2, with just Shiffrin to go to for USA 1. She delivered a powerful performance, but it was just short of the podium, pushing the team into fourth place. 

"I didn't sleep well the last couple of nights, but I felt grateful that I had another opportunity with Paula," said Wiles, who had finished just off the downhill podium in fourth on Sunday. "I just tried to move forward quickly. Paula gave me some really nice words of encouragement. It’s really special that both of us had that same kind of feeling coming in, like we wanted it that badly, wanting it for everybody."

"I knew I had a lot of faith in the process, and Jackie had set us up in an incredible start position," said Moltzan. "I watched a lot of people and processed what I needed to do, took some deep breaths and took my husband's words of wisdom, which was that pressure is a privilege."

Team USA 3, consisting of Keely Cashman and AJ Hurt were 15th, while Team USA 4 of Bella Wright and Nina O'Brien was a DNF. 

Austria's Ariane Raeddler and Katharina Huber teamed up to win the gold, while Germany's Kira Weidle-Winkelmann and Emma Aicher took the silver. The medal was Aicher's second of these Games as she also won the silver in Sunday's downhill.

Kyle Negomir laid down a proud, aggressive downhill run and River Radamus pulled out all the stops in the afternoon slalom, as Team USA finished 19th in the alpine team combined on another sun-splashed day on Bormio’s Stelvio slope at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

Swiss speedster Franjo Von Allman teamed up with countryman Tanguy Neff to win his second gold medal of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games with a combined downhill and slalom run time of 2 minutes, 44.04 seconds. Von Allmen also won gold in the downhill on Saturday. The Austrian pair of Vincent Kriechmayr and Manuel Feller, along with the Swiss pair of Marco Odermatt and Loic Meillard, tied for the silver medal at 2:45.03.

Negomir came out hot in the downhill, which was the first run of the team combined. Just off the leading split midway down the track, he was poised to pull out another top-10 downhill performance as he did in Saturday’s Olympic downhill. However, a slight mistake on the lower portion of the course knocked him off the pace. 

“Coming in as an underdog team, we had to really push the limit to be able to be competitive and fight for a medal here,” Negomir said. ”I might have gone just over the limit, unfortunately, in a couple of turns and made a few too many mistakes."

“It's super special and pretty unique in our sport to get to ski for a team and take risks and really push the limit for more than just yourself,” he added. “That just added that extra level of motivation to be on the edge today.”

For Negomir, just having the opportunity to race alongside one of his best friends, especially after missing the 2025 World Championships last season, was very special.  “Last year I was the only guy from, I think, our whole men's team, that was sitting at home watching the world championships,” he said. “So to be here and be part of the team and representing the U.S. in the team event, that means a ton.”

In the afternoon slalom, Radamus, who hasn’t raced slalom since the U.S. Alpine Championships last season, gave it his all against some of the best slalom skiers in the world. 

“I sat out here, and I watched (Kyle) ski his run, and I was sort of moved because he skied so hard,” Radamus said. “He skied with all his heart and made a couple of mistakes, but he was skiing so fearlessly. So I knew I had to return the favor. I don't think either of us had perfect runs, but as Kyle said, we grew up together. We've seen the sacrifices each other have made. We have pushed each other for years now. So getting to race for my brother here and for my country is a really special moment.”

Radamous will get another shot at the slalom course on Monday, Feb. 16. He also plans to race the Super-G on Wednesday, Feb. 11  and the giant slalom on Saturday, Feb. 14. Negomir, meanwhile, also plans to race the super-G and the giant slalom.

Olympic team combined

Breezy Johnson, the reigning World Downhill Champion, added Olympic gold to her collection, winning the 2026 Olympic downhill on the Olimpia delle Tofane course in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy on Sunday. Jackie Wiles just missed the podium, finishing fourth.

"I felt like it was solid," Johnson said of her run. "I thought that there were definitely some places that weren't the best, but I hope that it would be enough. I just tried to keep it rolling. I knew it was fast, and some of the places where I made mistakes, I was like 'did I just make a mistake or did I make a mistake because I was going fast.'"

Lindsey Vonn crashed just 13 seconds into her downhill run after hooking a right-hand gate and was taken off the course for treatment. 

Johnson, wearing bib six, posted a winning time of 1 minute, 36.10 seconds. Germany's Emma Aicher took the silver medal, 0.07 seconds back, followed by Italy's Sofia Goggia, with the bronze at 0.18 off Johnson's winning time. Wiles was fourth at 0.86 back. Bella Wright was 21st for Team USA.

Johnson's gold is the first medal won by Team USA at the 2026 Olympics, and she did it with mastery on a course that knocked her out of the 2022 Olympics.

"I don't think my journey (to this gold medal) is something that many people are envious of, and it's been a tough road," she said. "But sometimes you just have to keep going because that's the only option and you know if you're going through hell you keep walking because you don't want to just sit around in hell and sometimes when you keep going, maybe you'll make it back to the top."

For Wiles, it was a bittersweet day watching her close friend crash, and then just coming up short for a medal. "There were a lot of emotions before (my run)," Wiles said. "I saw Breezy have an incredible run and I was really pumped for her. It was cool to watch. Then watching Lindsey go down from the start was pretty awful. To watch that happen to someone whom you really care about, my heart just broke for her.

"I tried to stay in the moment," she continued. "I still had a job to do, and I'm proud of the way I skied. But it's hard being in fourth after everything I have been through in my career. At my age, I don't have many chances left, so yeah, it hurts. It's really hard, but I'm trying to look ahead to a lot more racing and that is all I can do."

Kyle Negomir came into the Games looking forward to enjoying the moment and all the sights, sounds and glory that surround the Olympics. 

“I think that was the most fun any of us will have, skiing Bormio, and to have a show like this where you know you have such a big audience to show what I've spent the last 25 years perfecting, that was super special,” Negomir said after starting with bib 27 and finishing 10th to lead Team USA in the men’s downhill.

Switzerland’s Franjo Von Allmen won the downhill gold, followed by Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni and Dominik Paris taking the silver and bronze medals, respectively

With brilliant sunshine and spring-like temperature basking the Stelvio slope, Negomir skied to a career-best downhill result. Bryce Bennett, racing in his final Olympic downhill, was 13th. Ryan Cochran Siegle was 18th, and Sam Morse finished 19th.

“It was inspiring to run this downhill course, the Olympics on a sunny day,” Morse said. “Yeah, that was truly a dream come true!”

For Bennett, Saturday’s race capped an Olympic journey that spanned three Games - PyeongChang, Beijing, and now Bormio.

"Obviously, you want to win a medal at the Olympics, but sometimes it's more than that, and using the Olympics to bring your best out,” Bennett said. “That's what's pretty special about the Olympics. And I felt like I did that.”

“It’s been 12 years of putting in a lot of work and making three Olympic teams and a lot of sacrifice,” he added. “A  lot of sacrifice for myself and a lot of sacrifice for my wife and family now. So I can hang my hat pretty high on that. It hasn't been the most insane career, but I've had a lot of super special performances, and I’ll be proud of those for the rest of my life.”

Up next, the men’s team combined will take place on Monday, followed by the men’s super-G on Wednesday.

Men’s Olympic downhill
 

In a standout performance at Sunday’s men’s World Cup downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, the last race before the Olympic Games begin, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Ryan Cochran-Siegle charged down the challenging Nationale slope to claim third place. 

The sun came out in Crans-Montana, a stark contrast to the flat light the women encountered over the previous days. Cochran-Siegle, the 2022 Olympic silver medalist in super-G, delivered one of his best runs of the season to stand on the podium for the second time of the 2025-26 season. He skied fluidly, carrying and building speed consistently throughout the gliding course. 

“I’m just trying to ski with some joy and fun,” said Cochran-Siegle. “I was just more focused on enjoying it. It’s so rare that we get days like this – nice sunshine on a sunny slope with fun terrain, so I was really just trying to enjoy that.”

Cochran-Siegle’s most recent World Cup podium came on December 4, 2025, when he finished second in the downhill at the Stifel Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Crans-Montana marked his fifth career World Cup podium and fourth in downhill, setting himself up nicely for the Olympic Games. 

“I just gotta reset. Every venue is unique and obviously Bormio will be really exciting,” said Cochran-Sielge. “The Olympics are a huge part of the sport and just the global attention of sports in general is super cool… I’ll take today with me and then embrace the challenge that will be coming up this next week.”

Bryce Bennett was the next top American, finishing 18th. Wiley Maple also finished in the points in 29th place. Kyle Negomir was 40th, Erik Arvidsson 41st, Jared Goldberg 48th, Sam Morse 50th and Isaiah Nelson 54th. 

The men race first at the Olympic Games, beginning downhill training on Feb. 4 with the downhill scheduled for Feb. 7, the morning after Opening Ceremony.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Breezy Johnson delivered a career-defining performance on Saturday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland charging to her first World Cup super-G podium in third place. 

“I respect super-G so much; I think it's the hardest event,” said Johnson. “I've always wanted to be good at it, but I did not expect to get there today and I did not expect that run to be what got me to the podium, but I am happy.” 

On a fast, demanding super-G track, Johnson put together a confident and aggressive run from bib 29. Coming in the back of the top 30 starters, many thought the race was more or less over until Johnson came barreling down with high speeds and green lights. Split after split showed Johnson was in for a big day. The second she crossed the line and saw that she was on the podium, she was emotional and shocked. The result marks the first time in her career that Johnson has finished inside the top three in super-G, adding a major milestone to a career already highlighted by strong downhill results.

“It felt fast, because it was sort of similar to the downhill,” said Johnson. “I haven’t been having a particularly good super-G season so I just wanted to come out and give it my best.” 

It was also a strong day for young up-and-comer Mary Bocock, who landed 15th. Her first top-15 finish in the World Cup and her best result to build confidence as she enters the games next week. 

“I was a little nervous, but I'm very happy about it,” said Bocock. “I love this track because it's very technical and so I'm very happy that I was able to execute my plan.” 

There were strong results across the board for the team with Jackie Wiles snagging the Stifel Bibbo Award in 17th from bib 47 and Tricia Mangan skiing to a strong 19th place - one of her best results this season. Keely Cashman rounded out the U.S. skiers in 25th. Haley Cutler also raced but landed outside the 30 in 36th place. 

The Crans Montana World Cup races this weekend were honoring the victims of the tragic fire just one month prior with a moment of silence and other commemorations to the lives lost. It was fitting for Swiss skier Malorie Blanc to win the World Cup in front of the hometown crowd, making for a very emotional and stunning moment for the skier and mountain community. In second place was the super-G red bib holder, Sofia Goggia. 

This super-G race marked the final regular-season World Cup race before the upcoming Milano Cortina Games that start with women’s speed in Cortina.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team’s Ben Ritchie delivered another strong performance under the lights in Schladming, Austria, finishing 13th in the men’s night slalom. This is notably his best result of the season and comes off his previous 15th-place finish last weekend in Kitzbühel, Austria. 

“It felt good to make some good turns, with one race left in the season I am going to keep pushing,” said Ritchie. 

Ritchie attacked the Planai course with intent and composure from the opening run, skiing aggressively yet in control to put himself just inside the top 30. But he was given a great opportunity to hammer down run two and make himself a move.  In front of the chaotic Austrian crowd, Ritchie did just that. He skied to the second fastest second run and moved up from 30th to 13th place. A very solid effort on the technically demanding course. 

“It was a really hard course and the surface was super slick as well,” said Ritchie. “You really had to move and fight the whole way.” 

Also posting a notable result for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team was Luke Winters, who finished 19th to earn his first World Cup slalom points since 2023. Winters has been working extremely hard the past couple of seasons to find his way back in the top 30 slalom skiers, and this race was a great moment for him. 

The winner of the race was Norwegian Viking Henrik Kristoffersen, in second was fellow Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath and in third was Frenchman Clement Noel. 

The men’s slalom tour only has one more stop before it ends at finals in Kranjska Gora in late February.
