The Milan Cortina Olympics continue Tuesday with several marquee events, headlined by Mikaela Shiffrin's Olympic debut in the women's team combined and the U.S. women's hockey team facing rival Canada. Shiffrin will compete in the slalom portion of the team combined event, with teammate Breezy Johnson handling the downhill run after her gold medal performance Sunday.

Team USA's women's hockey squad enters the Canada matchup undefeated after a 5-0 shutout of Switzerland on Monday. The Americans improved to 3-0, while Canada sits at 2-0 following a 5-1 victory over Czechia. The rivals have met 10 times at the Olympics, with Canada holding a 7-3 advantage, including six gold medal matchups. The U.S. can finish group play undefeated with a win.

Other notable events include Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse competing for Olympic gold in mixed doubles curling, Jessie Diggins in the cross-country sprint race where she earned bronze in 2022, and Alex Hall defending his ski slopestyle title. Figure skating's men's short program features gold medal favorite Ilia Malinin, while Germany's Raimund claimed ski jumping gold earlier.
