Norway's Jens Lurås Oftebro and Andreas Skoglund clinched gold in the men's team sprint Nordic combined event at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, securing a sweep of all three competitions amid heavy snowfall. Finland earned silver in a photo finish just 0.5 seconds behind, while Austria took bronze. The victory highlights the sport's uncertain future as the IOC considers its removal from future Games due to low viewership and limited national participation.
Jessie Diggins and Julia Kern will represent the United States in the women's team sprint freestyle at the Milan Cortina Games, seeking a medal in Diggins' final Olympic race. Norway's Johannes Høsflot Klæbo pairs with Einar Hedegård to pursue a 10th career Olympic gold in the men's event. The competitions are set for Wednesday at the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium in Val di Fiemme, Italy.

Germany's Laura Gimmler and Coletta Rydzek executed a flawless strategy to win the women's freestyle team sprint at the Cross-Country World Cup in Goms, Switzerland, on January 23, 2026. The race, the last before the Milano Cortina Olympics, saw France's Léonie Perry and Mélissa Gal secure seventh place, their best result in the format since 2010. Notable absences, including Sweden's top sprinters and the United States' Jessie Diggins, shifted focus to tactical preparation amid a challenging hilly course.
