Key Moments and Developments
- Shiffrin’s silver brings her career Olympic medal count to 11 (6 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze), further cementing her position as the most decorated female Winter Olympian in alpine skiing history.
- Norway’s biathlon team has now medaled in every women’s event held so far, continuing one of the most dominant showings ever seen in Olympic biathlon.
- Johannes Høsflot Klæbo’s gold in the men’s 15 km classic completed another Norwegian podium sweep and moved him closer to Marit Bjørgen’s all-time Winter medal record.
- Weather conditions improved across most alpine venues, allowing all scheduled events to run on time for the first time in several days.
Organizers continue to emphasize that 85 percent of competition venues are powered by renewable energy and that legacy facilities from the 1956 Cortina and 2006 Turin Games have kept new construction to a minimum. Environmental groups have acknowledged the renewable energy progress but maintain calls for complete elimination of fossil fuel-related sponsorships.
The Games continue with alpine skiing, biathlon relays, and freestyle skiing events scheduled for Sunday and Monday. Live coverage remains available on global broadcasters and the official Olympics streaming platform. Norway’s medal surge, Shiffrin’s pursuit of more history, and the United States’ strong multi-discipline showing remain the dominant storylines as the second week begins.
