This was one of the three new ski mountaineering events, a sport which made its debut at Milano-Cortina 2026. The ski mountaineering events were held at the Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio, Italy. The mixed relay had been contested only one time at the World Championships, that in 2025, when it was won by a French team of Emily Harrop and Thibault Anselmet.
The mixed relay started at 1,210 metres altitude, ascending and descending 137 metres over a track length of 1,410 metres. Each relay team consisted of one man and one woman, both skiing two legs of the course.
Twelve teams started the event, but France, Spain, and Switzerland were considered the strongest, which proved to be the case. France took the lead on the first leg, skied by individual silver medalist Harrop, and she and Anselmet were never challenged, winning gold by almost 12 seconds. Behind them Marianne Fatton, the women’s sprint gold medalist, started slowly for Switzerland, but she moved into second near the end of the first leg, and Jon Kistler and she maintained that position throughout to take the silver medal.
Spain had the men’s individual gold medalist in Oriol Cardona and the women’s bronze medalist in Ana Alonso. Alonso struggled on her sections but Cardona brought them back both times. On her second leg Alonso dropped to fifth place, but Cardona came home for the bronze medal. That pair had taken silver in the mixed relay at the 2025 World Championships.
Behind them only the United States challenged for a medal as Anna Gibson briefly moved into third at the end of the second women’s leg, passing Alonso and Italy’s Alba de Silvestro, but Cameron Smith was no match for Cardona and the USA placed fourth, 16 seconds off the podium.
