Winning Now or Peaking at Olympics: World Cup Skiers' Planning for Italy
As the Alpine skiing World Cup season begins, skiers face a dilemma: whether to focus on winning now or peaking at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics in February.
American skier Paula Moltzan, who opened the season with her career-best result in giant slalom, wonders if she is peaking too early. With the Olympics still three months away, she hopes to hit top form later.
“No, I don’t think so,” Moltzan said. “I’m just hoping that I’m building a really wide base to build off.”
Moltzan acknowledges the importance of peaking at the right time, with her coaches tracking her recovery and peaking cycle.
- The World Cup campaign is a five-month-long season, considered the most important stage by skiers.
- The chance to compete for Olympic medals comes only once every four years.
