The 2026 Winter Olympics are bringing thousands of athletes from around the world together for more than two weeks of competition — and the Games are a gold mine for statistics.

The 2026 Winter Olympics are underway. Here's a look at the full schedule for every event at the Milan Cortina Olympic Games, including how to watch.

Ski mountaineering is making its debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics

Ski mountaineering is the newest Winter Olympics event in 2026. But there's another high-altitude event that could enter the picture when the French Alps host the Games in 2030. Ice climbing is one of several potential new sports that the International Olympic Committee will consider for the 2030 program when the Games go to the French Alps.

Nordic combined is the only Olympic sport that doesn't allow women to compete, despite athletes' efforts to change that. They say their odds for 2030 hinge on people watching men's events this week.
