Alpine skiing combined at the 2026 Winter Olympics will feature two specialists in a team instead of one skier, the International Olympic Committee said on Tuesday.
For the Milan-Cortina Games in Italy, the format will involve two skiers of the same gender representing a nation with one specialist taking a downhill run and the other tackling the slalom course. The individual combined last featured on the World Cup calendar in the 2019-20 season. It had been on the Olympic programme since its return in 1988, having been dropped in 1952 after it was first staged in 1936.
