2026 Olympics: French Ski Mountaineering – Medals & Moments

The snow has finally stopped falling in large flakes. On the ceremonial podium, at the bottom of the legendary Stelvio slope, Emily Harrop, 28, cracks a smile for the occasion. Well obliged to make money happy. Big favorite of the ski mountaineering sprint event for the appearance of the discipline at the Olympics, the Tricolor had to settle for second place behind the Swiss Marianne Fatton.

The fault was a left shoe which did not fit well into the binding at the time of the transition between the walking part and the end of the ski ascent, while she was in the lead. A little thing that changes everything. Especially the color of the metal.
