Day 9 of the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics is underway, and it's been an up-and-down start for the United States.
The biggest American star aiming for a medal on Sunday, Mikaela Shiffrin, finished 11th in the giant slalom. Shiffrin is the most decorated alpine skiier in history, with more than 100 World Cup wins, but hasn't picked up a medal since the 2018 Games, and she's now 0 for 2 in Italy. Earlier in these Games, Shiffrin finished fourth alongside Breezy Johnson in the team combined to open her 2026 Olympics.
Shiffrin still has one more chance to end her Olympic drought: She'll ski in her best event -- the slalom -- on Tuesday.
Erin Jackson finished fifth trying to defend her gold medal in the women's 500m speedskating final.
In better news, the U.S. men's and women's curling teams picked up key wins, with the women coming back for a thrilling 6-5 win over China and the men topping Sweden 8-5.
Closing out Sunday's action will be the United States men's hockey team facing Germany after a hard-fought win over Denmark on Saturday.
