By Thursday, February 19, the energy at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics had reached a powerful rhythm — the kind that only emerges once athletes settle fully into the intensity of Olympic competition.

Tonight’s Prime Time in Milan coverage gets underway with another packed edition featuring freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, and slope style snowboarding, among others.

Also on Thursday, the new Olympic event of ski mountaineering will begin with men's and women's sprints.
