11:30, 12:35. Freestyle. Women. Slopestyle (qualification, attempts 1 and 2)
Ukraine is represented in this discipline by 25-year-old Kateryna Kotsar. For Kateryna, slopestyle is not the most successful discipline, on the other hand, she will become our first representative who competes in freestyle in two types at once (besides slopestyle, also big air). She took 17th place in the World Cup standings, which gave her the opportunity to qualify for the 2026 Olympic Games.
12:30 p.m. Mountain skiing. Men Rapid descent
20-year-old Transcarpathian Dmytro Shepyuk will make his debut at the Olympic Games in downhill on the track in Cortina d’Ampezzo. Considering last year’s results, our representative can at best compete for places in the middle of the list of participants. And among the favorites, the Swiss Marco Odermatt and the representative of Brazil Lucas Pinheiro Broten, who studied sports art in Norway, which he actually represented until 2023, have the best chances.
14:00. Ski races. Women’s skiathlon (10 km+10 km)
In cross-country skiing, Ukraine will be represented at the 2026 Olympic Games by Anastasia Nikon, Sofia Shkatula, Elizaveta Noprienko and Daryna Mihal. The coaching staff will determine which of them will make it to the start of the skiathlon. We will cheer for our girls with the understanding that we still have a long way to go to the medal podium, because we have a negative experience from the previous Olympics, when not all of our representatives were able to finish. Actually, the current results do not add much optimism either. And experts consider the Swedish representatives Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson, as well as the American Jessica Diggins, to be the favorites of the race.
15:00, 16:05. Freestyle. Men Slopestyle (qualification, attempts 1 and 2)
Ukraine is not represented in this discipline.

Andriy Mandziy during a training run Our veterans 37-year-old Andriy Mandziy and 30-year-old Anton Dukach, for whom this Olympiad will be the fourth and third, respectively, have a chance to impose a fight on younger and more ambitious opponents in the previous races. Most recently, Mandziy became the winner of the Nations Cup stage, which inspires optimism about the prospects, if not the fight for medals, then a place in the top ten of the overall standings.
19:45, 21:00. Springboard jumping. Women. A normal springboard. Preliminary Round 1, Final
Unfortunately, the representatives of Ukraine were unable to obtain Olympic licenses. Among the contenders for awards, representatives of Slovenia (Nika Prevts), Germany (Zelina Freitag) and Norway (Anna Odine Strem) have the most chances.
20:30, 20:53, 21:17. Snowboard. Big Air. Men Attempts 1 and 2, Final
Ukraine does not have its own representation in this discipline among men, so fans of snowboarding will be satisfied with the competitions of the world’s best representatives. Among them, the Japanese Hiroto Ogiwara and Kira Kimura, as well as the American Oliver Martin, are considered the main contenders for the award.
20:45. Figure skating. Team competitions. Singles (men, short program)
Kyrylo Marsak, the only representative of Ukraine in figure skating, takes part in this type of competition. The latest results of the 21-year-old from Kherson, in particular, a successful performance at the recent European Championship (8th place), give hope that Kyrylo will be able to compete on the Olympic ice, at least for the first “ten” of the overall standings.
23:05. Figure skating. Team competitions. Dancing on ice (optional program)
Ukraine, unfortunately, does not have its own representatives in this discipline.
