DAILY COUNTDOWN 5 – Speed, stamina and precision define a pivotal day at Milano Cortina 2026

Day 5 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games sharpens the focus on three of winter sport’s purest tests, with men’s speed, combined endurance and technical mastery all taking centre stage across alpine skiing, Nordic Combined and freestyle skiing. With three Olympic titles to be decided, today’s programme may be lighter in quantity than previous days, but heavy in significance as established contenders and specialists face moments that could define their Games.

The iconic Stelvio slope hosts another high-stakes speed battle as men’s Super-G rewards precision at full throttle, while Predazzo and Tesero combine jumping finesse and endurance racing in the Nordic Combined Gundersen, a discipline where balance across two very different skills often proves decisive. In Livigno, the bumps take centre stage as women’s moguls crowns an Olympic champion in a discipline where execution, rhythm and nerve leave no room for error.
