Australia heads into the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina (and Livigno) with arguably its strongest team in history.
This season alone, 11 different Australians have won a total of 26 medals at World Cup level across seven different sporting disciplines.
That doesn't even include the two X Games medals won by Scotty James and Indra Brown in Aspen last week.
Thirteen of those World Cup medals have been gold, while three Aussies — Jakara Anthony, Brown and Adam Lambert — currently wear the yellow bib as leaders of their respective World Cup standings.

Livigno: Australia has never won more than two gold medals at a single Winter Olympics, never won more than four medals at a Winter Games, and never defended a Winter Olympic gold.
It’s an exciting possibility that Australia could break one of those records at the 2026 Games in Milano Cortina this month. It’s even more extraordinary, and feasible, that Australia could break all three of them by time the Games close on February 22.

Taking their lead from their summer counterparts, Australia's 2026 Winter team are set to be remembered as the most successful ever as the Olympic Games get under way in Italy.
Australians brought home a record haul of 18 gold medals among 53 in total from Paris in 2024, and the Winter crew have similarly lofty ambitions in Milan-Cortina, albeit on a smaller scale.
Four years ago in Beijing, the Australian team won a record four medals, including gold by moguls superstar Jakara Anthony.
Snowboard king Scotty James and skeleton veteran Jackie Narracott both bagged silver, and Tess Coady pocketed a snowboard slopestyle bronze.
