The Argentine Olympic Committee (COA) has made official the list of athletes who will be part of the national delegation at the XXV Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The team will be made up of eight athletes who will compete in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and luge, marking the largest Argentine presence at a winter edition since Turin 2006, when nine representatives took part.
The next edition of the Games will take place from February 6 to 22 and will mean the return of the premier winter sports event to Europe, after PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022. In addition, it will be the third time that Italy hosts the Winter Olympic Games, after Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956 and Turin 2006.
In alpine skiing, the Argentine team will consist of Francesca Baruzzi, Nicole Begue and Tiziano Gravier. Begue and Gravier will face their first Winter Olympic Games, while Baruzzi will be one of the leaders of the group. The skier, who was born in San Carlos de Bariloche, already had her Olympic debut in Beijing 2022, where she achieved two top-30 finishes (giant slalom and super-G), and she also has a notable background at the Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, cross-country skiing will feature the participation of Agustina Groetzner, Nahiara Díaz González, Franco Dal Farra, and Mateo Sauma. The quartet will combine youth and experience, since Dal Farra and Díaz González will compete in their second Olympic Games after having taken part in the previous edition, while Groetzner and Sauma will make their debut at the premier sports event.
