The United States continues its run in the 2026 Winter Olympics, and Wednesday’s slate of events provides fierce competition for the athletes.

Local athletes from the tristate area are still representing in Milan Cortina, ranging from Westchester County to Lake Placid.

Events to keep an eye on include freestyle skiing moguls, doubles luge (men’s and women’s) and a fan favorite at the Winter Olympics each year, curling.

Here’s a list of who to look for in Milan Cortina on Wednesday.

Women’s freestyle skiing moguls

Olivia Giaccio qualified for the women’s moguls finals on Tuesday afternoon. The Connecticut native specializes in moguls, and is known as the first woman to complete a cork 1080 in moguls World Cup competition.

The 25-year-old has been skiing since she was 2-years-old, and also went to ski school in Killington, Vermont with her brother.

This is her second time at the Olympics, after debuting at the Beijing Games in 2022.

The women’s freestyle skiing moguls begin at 5 a.m.

Women’s doubles luge

Sophia Kirkby, a Lake Placid native, continues her run in women’s doubles luge, with her partner Chevonne Forgan.

Kirkby gained an interest in the sport after seeing a street luge competition at 7-years-old. The 24-year-old first trained at Mount Van Hoevenberg, after encouragement from her father James, who was a bobsledder with the U.S. Air Force in the 1970s.

The competition begins at 11 a.m.

Men’s doubles luge

On the men’s side, New Yorkers can look out for Sean Hollander, also from the Lake Placid area.

Hollander began following the sport after learning of it through an elementary school after-school program. Despite starting off as a singles luge competitor, he made the switch to doubles after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 25-year-old competed in the 2022 Beijing Olympics, where he finished 7th (Team-Relay-Mixed) and 11th (Double – Open).

Hollander joined Team USA in 2022, along with his teammate Zack DiGregorio.

To watch the duo compete, check out the men’s doubles luge at noon.

Men’s curling

Danny Casper, a 24-year-old Briarcliff Manor, New York native, will go against Czechia in the first draw of round-robin play.

He was introduced to the sport at age 11 at Ardsley Curling Club, and was tutored by former U.S. national champion Bill Stopera. Little did Casper know that he would later join the national team with Bill’s son, Andrew Stopera.

This is Casper’s first time at the Winter Olympics. He missed a portion of the 2024-2025 curling season after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disease that impacts his ability to walk at times, and the use of his hands. You may note his teammates helping him clean his rock on the ice if he has trouble during the competition.

Men’s curling kicks off at 1:05 p.m.
