MILAN — Short-track speed skating is taking off at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The first day of competition in the thrilling event begins on Tuesday, Feb. 10, and Team USA will be in action. It begins with the heats of the women’s 500m, which will feature Kristen Santos-Griswold and Corrine Stoddard.

Milano Cortina is all about redemption for Santos-Griswold. She was positioned to win her first Olympic medal in 2022, but a crash on the final lap spoiled her hopes with a finish off the podium. Now Santos-Griswold returns with hardware in her sights. Stoddard also enters her second Winter Olympics and will be in the hunt to qualify for the quarterfinals.
