Kingsbury Strikes Gold Again as Olympic Ski Drama Unfolds
Mikaël Kingsbury has done it once more, bringing home the first gold for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina and the story of alpine and freestyle skiing here is nothing short of thrilling. In a head-to-head showdown against Japan’s Horishima Ikuma, Kingsbury proved why he’s long been called the king of moguls. This victory marks his second Olympic gold, adding to the one he earned in Pyeongchang in 2018 and it’s his fifth Olympic medal overall. After narrowly missing out on gold in the individual moguls event, this win is both redemption and a statement of dominance on the global stage.
The excitement isn’t just in moguls. Alpine skiing fans are witnessing fierce battles in the slalom giant. Canada’s Valérie Grenier, after a rocky start to her Games, has a chance to reclaim the podium in her signature event. She’s facing tough competition from Italy’s Frederica Brignogne, Sweden’s Sara Hector and Norway’s Thea Louis Stjernesund, all vying for medals in one of skiing’s most technically demanding events. Every turn and every split second matters in these races and Grenier’s previous World Cup successes show she’s more than capable of rising to the challenge.

Meanwhile, in cross-country skiing, Norway’s Johannes Høsflot Klæbo has etched his name deeper into Olympic history. With a record-breaking ninth gold medal at the Winter Games, earned in the 4x7.5 km relay, he surpasses legendary compatriots Bjørn Dæhlie, Marit Bjørgen and Ole Einar Bjørndalen. Klæbo’s relentless pursuit of excellence is on full display and he’s now chasing a sixth gold at these Games, further cementing his dominance in Nordic skiing.
Canada is also making waves in other disciplines. In snowboard cross, Éliot Grondin and Audrey McManiman aim to turn previous podium finishes into more medals. Meanwhile, in bobsleigh, Melissa Lotholz and Cynthia Appiah are among the top ten after two of four runs in the monobob, keeping hopes alive for a podium finish despite the razor-thin margins that define this sport.
Every event today carries weight: from speed skating finals to downhill skiing and the thrilling parallel moguls elimination rounds. Canadian athletes are not just competing—they’re chasing history, personal redemption and Olympic glory.
