Snowboard: Women's snowboard cross final
14:45 CET - Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina
Based on recent World Cup performance and preparations for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, several top contenders are poised to dominate the women's snowboard cross event, with the absence of 2022 champion Lindsey Jacobellis.
Britain's former world champion Charlotte Bankes has enjoyed plenty of success in snowboard cross, but she has never lived up to her potential at the Winter Olympics. However, she has returned from a recent injury to top the World Cup rankings and should have all the chances to put things right in Livigno.
Bankes is expected to face stiff competition from several athletes, among them the local hope, the 2018 Olympic champion, Michela Moioli, who on home soil will be a major contender for the podium.
Julia Nirani-Pereira is one of many strong contenders from the French team, which also includes Chloe Trespeuch and Lea Casta. She won the 2025 World Championship and the final World Cup race before the Olympics in China a few weeks ago.
Men's cross-country 10km
11:45 CET - Cross-country and biathlon centre Fabio Canal in Tesero
Norway's Johannes Hosflot Klaebo is the overwhelming favourite to dominate the men’s cross-country 10km race and will certainly be the man to beat after showing his amazing form in the sprint discipline.
Klaebo went through the sprint classic qualifying rounds as if they were training sessions, made his rivals explode on the final climb, and raced away with his second gold of these Games and his seventh gold overall, which made him just one shy of the all-time Winter Olympic record.
Marit Bjoergen remains the benchmark, with eight Olympic golds and 15 medals in total, topping the sport, alongside fellow Norwegian Bjorn Daehlie's eight golds.
They are matched by biathlon legend Ole Einar Bjoerndalen's eight golds and 13 medals in total, which is a testament to Norway's dominance in endurance winter sports.
It's difficult to see any challengers to Klaebo's potential gold medal. Klaebo might have most competition from some of his teammates, like Harald Ostberg Amundsen, who won the overall World Cup title in 2024–2025, Martin Lowstrom Nyenget, who is a top competitor in distance races, and the USA's Ben Ogden, who won silver in the sprint, his first Olympic medal and the first medal for a male US cross-country skier since 1976.
Snowboard: Men's halfpipe final
19:30 CET - Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina
American legend Shaun White may have brought down the curtain on his impressive career, but judging from the qualification race, there will be plenty of spectacular acrobatics to look forward to as riders get ready for the Men's halfpipe final.
Reigning world and X Games champion Scotty James, who won bronze in 2018 and silver in 2022, heads into the final as the absolute favourite, desperate to complete his quest to win gold.
The qualifying competition already showed a lot of promise for what's in store for the spectators on Thursday night at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, as 10 of the 12 riders to advance posted scores above 80 in one of the most spectacular qualifying rounds the sport has seen.
James finished first in the qualification by completing five straight double cork off-axis spins for a 94.00, while Japan's elite squad took 2nd (Yuto Totsuka, 91.25), 3rd (Ryusei Yamada, 90.25), 5th (Ruka Hirano, 87.50), and 7th (Ayumu Hirano, 85.50).
17-year-old Alessandro Barbieri, whose parents are from Milan, finished fourth with an 88.50, completing a stylish switchback 900 followed by a 1440, a pair of 1260s, and a 1080. American teammates Chase Josey and Jake Pates also booked their ticket for the final, as they squeezed through in the final two spots.
