NBCUniversal's Peacock will feature three documentaries on biathlon, cross-country skiing, and moguls during the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. These films highlight U.S. athletes' journeys, including biathletes seeking their first medal and skier Jessie Diggins in her final Olympics. Coverage begins with the Opening Ceremony on February 6, 2026.
As part of its broad coverage of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock will offer three on-demand documentaries, each focusing on a distinct winter sport: biathlon, cross-country skiing, and mogul skiing. The films are set to launch during the Games, with specific dates forthcoming.
The first, "Long Shots: U.S. Biathlon’s Underdog Story," explores the U.S. Biathlon Team's pursuit of the country's inaugural Olympic medal in the discipline. It includes interviews, training footage, and insights into the sport's development in the United States. The 2026 team consists of Lucinda Anderson, Sean Doherty, Margie Freed, Maxime Germain, Deedra Irwin, Joanne Reid, Paul Schommer, and Campbell Wright.
"Qualified" centers on the Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team's women's moguls squad, the world's top-ranked group. The documentary traces the competitive qualification process for eight athletes, of whom four will compete, emphasizing their sacrifices, team bonds, and the pressures of representing the nation.
"Threshold" profiles three-time Olympic medalist Jessie Diggins, America's most decorated cross-country skier. It follows Diggins and the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team through the 2023-24 season, during which she claimed the World Cup overall title. This will mark Diggins' last Olympic appearance before her retirement at the season's end.
NBCUniversal's coverage kicks off with the Opening Ceremony on February 6, 2026, at 2 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, which serves as the primary streaming platform. The Games will unfold across northern Italy, from Milan to Cortina d'Ampezzo, marking Italy's fourth Olympic hosting and Cortina's second Winter edition since 1956. NBCUniversal holds U.S. media rights through 2036.
