The 2026 Olympic Games in Milan, Italy, are officially underway and run through Sunday, Feb. 22.
The games are an exciting time for sports fans around the world, seeing some of the best athletes compete and getting exposure to sports we don’t always see broadcasted on television. One of the biggest stars coming into the 2026 Winter Olympics is Lindsey Vonn, as the American skiing star makes her return to the Olympic stage after a five-year retirement.
Vonn’s comeback story got even more dramatic when she tore her ACL a week before the Olympics began, but she’s successfully completed two training runs in the downhill despite that injury and has her sights set on adding a fourth Olympic medal to her collection. Vonn and fellow American Breezy Johnson will be in action early Sunday morning in the women’s downhill competition, as they look aim for a podium finish after strong training runs.

They will be in action to start Sunday’s competition in Italy, while things will finish with another big event for the Americans as medals are on the line in the figure skating team event, where Team USA is a favorite to take home the gold.
Fans can find the action on NBC and their streaming service Peacock, with an account or a cable login.
The Winter Games have eight main sports, with 16 disciplines. With so many events to keep up with, it can get overwhelming, but that’s where we step in.
