LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Su Yiming sat in the snow at the bottom of the snowboarding course, tears rolling down his cheeks. So close to winning China its first gold at the Milan Cortina Games, he still had a long wait to endure.

The men’s and women’s snowboard slopestyle finals of the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics take place on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at Livigno Snow Park.

Snowfall triggered a postponement of activities Tuesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, including snowboarding and skiing events in Livigno, Italy.

From Olympic champions to rising stars these snowboarders could define slopestyle and big air at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

MILAN, Italy — Compared to other sporting events we’ve seen the last couple weeks during the 2026 Winter Olympics, snowboarding is still “young,” debuting at the 1998 Nagano games. Yet, it’s been around long enough old enough to influence the riders in these Olympics to go big – very big.

Livigno is nicknamed “Little Tibet” for its historic isolation and the snow-clad peaks that surround it. This village near the Swiss border has had sales tax exemptions since medieval times, which allowed the impoverished, cut-off area to bring in goods.

Injuries, freak mishaps and shocking performances have beset Team USA's superstars. But there's still good news.
