Here’s a clear “Quick Scoop” style rundown of what events are left in the Olympics right now, framed for the ongoing 2026 Winter Games in Milano–Cortina.

What events are left in the Olympics?

The 2026 Winter Olympics run from 6–22 February 2026, with competition blocks most days across ice sports, snow sports and several brand‑new disciplines. As of the late phase of the Games, most early‑round and technical events have wrapped, leaving a cluster of high‑stakes medal events in the big “headline” sports.

Key remaining medal events

You can think of what’s left as a “finals heavy” schedule: lots of showpiece events, fewer qualifiers.

Typical remaining events include:

  • Biathlon pursuit medal races (men’s 12.5 km, women’s 10 km)
  • Cross‑country relay medals (e.g., men’s 4×7.5 km relay)
  • Freestyle skiing dual moguls (men’s and women’s)
  • Ski jumping women’s large hill individual
  • Skeleton mixed team relay
  • Speed skating sprint finals (such as women’s 500 m)
  • Final runs in bobsleigh, skeleton and luge doubles
  • Closing figure skating events (e.g., gala after medals are decided)
  • Remaining ice hockey knockout games and medal matches

These events are packed into the last several days to maximize prime‑time drama and medal swings on the table.

New or special events still on the schedule

2026 has several new or revamped events, and many of these are part of the late‑Games medal block.

  • Ski mountaineering (skimo) – brand‑new Olympic sport with: men’s sprint, women’s sprint, and a mixed relay, typically scheduled in a tight cluster late in the Games.
  • Dual moguls (freestyle skiing) – separate men’s and women’s events; these are high‑energy, fan‑friendly finals usually placed near the end.
  • Skeleton mixed team relay – a debut mixed‑gender event combining back‑to‑back runs; appears as a medal event late in the sliding‑track programme.
  • Women’s large hill ski jumping – first time as a standalone large‑hill medal event for women, scheduled late to highlight the historic addition.
  • Separate men’s and women’s doubles in luge – replaces the old open doubles event, giving two distinct medal events later in the luge programme.

These late‑stage debuts are part of the IOC’s push to make 2026 the most gender‑balanced Winter Games ever, with women close to half of all competitors.

Late‑Games spotlight sports

In the final days, a few sports tend to dominate the conversation and medal race.

  • Ice hockey – semifinals and medal games for men and women are usually among the last major events; 2026 is notable because NHL players are back in the men’s tournament for the first time since 2014, so those late matches are huge.
  • Figure skating – while many events finish earlier, any remaining free programs and the exhibition gala concentrate attention near the end.
  • Alpine skiing – remaining technical or speed events (especially any combined or team formats still scheduled) often close out the mountain programme.
  • Short‑track and speed skating – sprint finals and relays are late‑Games staples and can flip the medal table with a few races.

These late events are typically used in broadcasts as “anchor” coverage leading into the closing ceremony.

Mini forum‑style view: what fans care about

On forums and discussion spaces, people asking “what events are left in the Olympics” are usually trying to locate:

  • The last chance medal events for their country
  • The big‑ticket finals (hockey, figure skating, big air, dual moguls, speed skating)
  • Any new sports (like ski mountaineering or mixed relays) they haven’t seen yet
  • The schedule for “one more huge day” before the closing ceremony

You’ll often see community‑made schedules and spreadsheets shared in threads, because many fans want a single chronological list of what’s left, sorted by day and time zone.

Quick HTML schedule tip

Because exact “what’s left” depends on today’s date and time zone , the most accurate move is:

  • Check your local broadcaster’s Olympic page or app (they usually have a “Today” and “Upcoming” tab for events).
  • Cross‑check with the official Milano–Cortina 2026 site’s sport‑by‑sport schedule for the remaining days.

Those two together give a live, filtered list of events still to come in your evening and the remaining days of the Games.
