The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 will bring together some of Canada’s most celebrated Olympians, and that’s no different in snowboard cross, halfpipe and parallel giant slalom.
Olympic medallists Éliot Grondin and Meryeta O’Dine will lead Canada’s snowboard cross squad at Milano Cortina 2026, while the young talents like Felicity Geremia will battle for gold in halfpipe.
The team will arrive in Italy with strong momentum and medal potential across multiple events.
Grondin, the reigning men’s snowboard cross world champion and two-time World Cup Crystal Globe winner from Sainte-Marie, Que., expressed his gratefulness for the opportunity to wear the maple leaf once more.
“I am honoured to be named to the Canadian team for the third time in my career,” he told the Canadian Olympic Committee. “It is always a privilege to wear Canada’s colours at the Olympic Games when all eyes are on us.”
“I am confident in my ability to perform well at these Games, but my primary goal is to enjoy the moment and have fun on each of my runs,” he added. “I know that if I do that, I have a good chance of winning a medal.”
Snowboard competitions at Milano Cortina 2026 will run from 5-18 February at the Livigno Snow Park.
