Vonn has not yet qualified for the Olympics, although this victory surely helps her case. The American skier is aiming to hit the quota required to make the U.S. Alpine skiing team ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Russian athletes have told the International Luge Federation that they obtained visas and are coming to the U.S. for a World Cup race next weekend, a move that Ukrainian athletes believe is simply unfair.

A luge world cup is in full swing at the Utah Olympic Park where athletes are vying for a spot in the 2026 Olympics.

USA Skimo clinched a bid to the first-ever ski mountaineering competition at the Olympics, and an Aspen athlete earned a spot as an alternate.

SkiMo, as it is often referred to, will make its much-anticipated debut as the newest Winter Olympic sport at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

The U.S. and Canada conclude their four-game, pre-Olympic series on Wednesday and Saturday in Edmonton. In the first two games in the U.S., the Americans won 4-1 and 6-1. The U.S. has won four consecutive games against Canada dating back to last April’s World Championship tournament.
