The men's slalom competition of the 2026 Winter Olympics was held on Monday, 16 February, at Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio.[1] Loïc Meillard of Switzerland won the event, and this became his first Olympic gold. Fabio Gstrein of Austria won the silver medal, his first Olympic medal, and Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway won bronze.

Background

The defending champion, Clément Noël, qualified for the event. The silver medalist, Johannes Strolz, did not qualify. The bronze medalist, Sebastian Foss-Solevåg, retired from competitions.[2] Prior to the Olympics on the World Cup circuit, Atle Lie McGrath led in the slalom standings, closely followed by Lucas Pinheiro Braathen. Loïc Meillard was the reigning world champion

Summary

Atle Lie McGrath was the fastest in the first run, 0.6 seconds faster than Loïc Meillard and almost a second faster than Gstrein Timon Haugan. In the second run, Kristoffersen, who was the 6th in the first run, originally posted the best time and put himself in the leading position. He was still leading with three more skiers (from the leading group) to go. Out of these two, Gstrein and Meillard posted the same time which was the best in the second run. Since Meillard's time in the first run was better, he was in the gold medal position. McGrath, skiing last in the leading group, did not finish, straddling an early gate.

The race was run in heavy snowfall. More than half of skiers failed to finish the first run.
