The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games continue on Monday, with a full slate of marquee events and notable athletes in the spotlight. Eileen Gu, who secured three medals in Beijing and earned silver in women’s ski slopestyle in 2022, is slated to pursue her inaugural gold of these Games in the same event. Gu overcame an early setback in Saturday’s qualification round, recovering from a fall on her opening attempt to ultimately secure a place in the finals.
