Overview
- Olympic skimo competition features men's and women's sprints on February 19 and a mixed relay on February 21 in Bormio.
- A 36-athlete field will contest the events in the first new Winter Olympic sport added since 2002.
- The United States will be represented by Cam Smith and Anna Gibson, who earned the quota with a mixed-relay win at the ISMF World Cup Solitude 2025.
- Olympic Broadcasting Services selected Nikki LaRochelle, a former U.S. skimo racer and CSU graduate student, to provide expert commentary from the venue.
- Races hinge on rapid transitions as athletes climb on skins, bootpack on foot where required, then descend after stripping skins and switching gear.
