<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sidney-crosby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sidney Crosby</a> is preparing to once again be a key piece for Team Canada at the Milano Cortina 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/winter-olympics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Winter Olympic Games</a> this February. His presence poses a major competitive challenge for heavy rivals like Team USA, which is still awaiting a clear status on Matthew Tkachuk.



At 38 years old, Crosby will return to compete for Team Canada, reigniting his intense rivalry with Team USA, one that was already showcased during the 4 Nations Face Off. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tkachuk</a>, the leader of the Americans, hopes to move past his injuries by early 2026 and be ready to face the Pittsburgh Penguins star and his team.



Crosby was pivotal for Team Canada in 2010, when he scored the golden goal in Vancouver to secure the gold medal against the Americans. He repeated the feat in Sochi 2014 as captain. Nearly 14 years later, the competition against Tkachuk’s Team USA and the rest of the field will not be easy. Hockey Canada’s senior vice president of high performance and hockey operations, Scott Salmond, trusts his leadership as an asset that makes a massive difference.



<h2>Salmond’s warning for Team USA and other rivals about Crosby</h2>



“We talked yesterday about if there is any advantage anymore for Canadians or for our Canadian team, and there is. There’s one, and it’s Sidney Crosby. When you look at our biggest competition, I don’t think anyone else has that. It can’t be overstated,” Salmond warned, according to NHL.com.

“We saw it again at the 4 Nations, he has this incredible ability to bring people together. These players look at Sidney Crosby and they want to carry on that legacy that he’s created. You can never underestimate it. What he brings to Hockey Canada, the way he represents Canada is incredible and it’s a huge advantage for us, no question,” Salmond also said.

Team USA has announced the roster for the Men’s Olympic Orientation Camp, which will feature a range of players representing 24 different NHL teams. With the roster revealed, reactions have emerged over the absence of Lane Hutson, the young star of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/montreal-canadiens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Montreal Canadiens</a>.



Hutson has proven to be one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a>’s standout newcomers with his performances during the 2024-25 season. The 21-year-old had a strong experience in his first full year in the league, playing all 82 regular-season games and totaling 66 points (6 goals and 60 assists).



Despite his impressive rookie season in the NHL, Hutson received the news that he would not be included in the Men’s Olympic Orientation Camp roster, sparking reactions from fans who expected him to be on the final list.



<h2>Another key absence on the roster</h2>



The Men’s Olympic Orientation Camp will take place from August 26 to 27 in Plymouth, Michigan. In addition to Hutson’s absence, another notable aspect of the roster is the exclusion of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Tkachuk</a>, the star of the Florida Panthers.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/calgary-flames" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Calgary Flames</a> enter the new season with one of their most experienced forwards, Nazem Kadri, reaffirmed as a key piece of the team. After an outstanding campaign with 35 goals and 67 points in 82 games, the 34-year-old veteran center brought leadership and consistency to a franchise undergoing a process of redefinition.



However, things have become more complicated off the ice. During the offseason, rumors of a potential trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs intensified, as they identified Kadri as an option to bolster their offense in the post-Mitch Marner era. Nevertheless, those talks eventually stalled.



Kadri remains a player capable of tipping the balance in decisive moments. His performance solidified him as one of the most respected figures in Calgary’s locker room, but the veteran also voiced his frustration at being left out of Team Canada’s call-up.



<h2>Kadri’s reaction</h2>



“I feel like I deserve a chance. I think over the last few seasons, I’ve certainly proven that with my statistics and the winning pedigree. I think it speaks for itself,” Kadri said in an interview with The Athletic regarding his absence from Team Canada’s orientation camp for the 2026 Olympic Games.

“Honestly, man, it would be an absolute dream come true to somehow crack that team… I’ve been a long shot before. I’m looking forward to giving myself an opportunity. But I understand I’m going to have to play well,” Kadri added.

<h2>Kadri’s expectations for the upcoming season</h2>



With the Olympic era just six months away, this situation adds an emotional layer to a season already loaded with expectations. Kadri is not only looking to reaffirm himself in Calgary but also to earn a place on the national team, despite the mixed signals he has received.

The 2025–26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> season has just ended and everyone is already gearing up for 2026. Now, the league has surprised hockey fans by approving the formation of a super team next year that will include <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Auston Matthews</a>, the Tkachuk brothers, and other stars.



Hockey doesn’t stop even when no games are being played. In 2026, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/winter-olympics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Winter Olympics</a> will take place, and the NHL has shared exciting news for fans ahead of this highly anticipated event.



On Wednesday, the NHL officially approved players to be called up by their national teams to participate in Milano-Cortina 2026. Naturally, Team USA is expected to feature a star-studded roster as they compete for the gold medal.



<h2>Team USA announces first six NHL players for the 2026 Winter Olympics</h2>



After months of negotiations and speculation, the NHL has officially given the green light for its players to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics. After missing the 2018 and 2022 editions, the league reached an agreement with the NHLPA, IIHF, and IOC to allow its athletes to compete.



All 12 participating nations have now confirmed the first six players who will represent their countries. For Team USA, the early list features a group of elite NHL talent, offering a glimpse at what could be one of the most dominant rosters in the tournament.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/maple-leafs-auston-matthews-sends-clear-message-to-mitch-marner-after-trade-to-golden-knights"></div>


Auston Matthews, Brady Tkachuk, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Tkachuk</a>, Charlie McAvoy, Jack Eichel, and Quinn Hughes were the first players announced by Team USA for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The remainder of the roster will be revealed later this year.



This preliminary lineup is subject to change in case of injuries or availability issues. However, Matthews and the Tkachuk brothers are expected to be key figures, just as they have been on NHL ice.



<h2>Which other players could Team USA call for the 2026 Winter Olympics?</h2>



Beyond the first six names, Team USA has a deep pool of elite talent to choose from. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is expected to be the top option in net, while defensemen like Jaccob Slavin and Adam Fox could round out a formidable blue line.

Emerging stars like Trevor Zegras, Jack Hughes, and Cole Caufield could also make the cut, giving Team USA a perfect mix of youth, speed, and offensive creativity. With so many options available, the final roster is shaping up to be one of the strongest the U.S. has ever assembled for the Winter Olympics.

How long are the 2022 Winter Olympics? - Bolavip US

The sport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-how-far-do-ski-jumpers-jump-20220208-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">downhill skiing</a> is a kind of alpine skiing. Unlike the other alpine skiing events, downhill stresses the six components of skill, courage, speed, danger, physical condition, and judgment,according to the International Ski Competition Rules (ICR). The most well-known types of this winter sport are alpine/downhill skiing and cross-country skiing.
Downhill skiing is a time trial style in which racers <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-what-is-the-k-point-in-ski-jumping-20220207-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ski down a mountain slope</a> as quickly as possible. Cross-country skiing, often known as Nordic skiing, is a long-distance competition in which skiers compete against one another on flat terrain. Different tactics distinguish events in alpine and cross-country skiing.
Downhill and slalom are the two most popular alpine skiing competitions. The freestyle and traditional approaches in cross-country skiing distinguish competitions. Athletes ski down a natural slope as swiftly as possible with the fewest turns feasible, as the name implies.If you want to watch the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/where-and-when-were-the-first-winter-olympics-held-20220123-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winter Olympics</a> from the US, go to<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nbcolympics/?irad=1256817&amp;irmp=3119684" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank">fuboTV (7 Day Free Trial Streaming)</a> and <a href="https://imp.i305175.net/XxoLBX" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Peacock</a>, while if you are in Canada, you can watch it on<a href="https://fubo.tv/stream/ca/winter-olympics?irad=1257679&amp;irmp=3119684" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank">fuboTV (free trial).</a>
<h2>How long is aWinter Olympics downhill ski race?</h2>
The downhill course for men’s international championships is normally 2.4 to 5 km (1.5 to 3 miles) long, with a vertical fall of up to 1,000 m (3,281 feet) with terrain that is steep and demanding enough to test the participants’ ability and stamina. The route is 1.6-2.5 km (1-1.5 miles) long for women, with a maximum vertical drop of 700 m (2,297 feet).
A two-minute downhill, for example, is a course that is defined by time rather than length. Downhill competitions have an average winning speed of 64 to 80 km/hr (40 to 50 mph). On particularly short courses, speeds of above 200 km/h (100 mph) can be attained, although these events are not considered genuine downhill races.
The downhill ski racehas the longest track and the fastest speeds. Men’s downhill slopes have vertical drops ranging from 800 to 1100 meters, while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/why-is-lindsey-vonn-not-competing-at-the-winter-olympics-2022-20220204-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">women’s downhill slopes</a> have vertical drops ranging from 450 to 800 meters, with skiers reaching speeds of up to 130 kilometersper hour(81 mph).In the competition, athletes have one chance to ski, known as a run.In order to reduce drag and maximize speed, athletes must adopt an aerodynamically effective tuck stance.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/2022-beijing-winter-olympics-list-of-sports-20220123-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curling</a> is a sport in which competitors roll stones over an ice sheet in the direction of a four-circle target area. This game is associated with bowls, boules, and shuffleboard. Two teams of four players alternate sliding big, polished granite boulders, also known as stones, over the ice curling sheet in the direction of the house, a circular target marked on the ice, in the direction of the house. Each player throws two stones, giving each team a total of eight.
The object of the game is to earn the highest possible score; points are granted for stones that are closest to the center of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed once both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game typically has eight or ten ends.Curling was included in the program of the inaugural <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/beijing-2022-how-to-watch-winter-olympics-tv-schedule-in-usa-live-stream-20220203-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winter Olympic Games</a> in Chamonix in 1924, but the results of that competition were not recognized by the IOC until 2006.
The sport was ultimately placed in the official schedule for the Nagano Games in 1998. Until 2018, men’s and women’s events were contested separately. From February 2 through February 20, there will be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-how-many-ends-are-in-curling-20220207-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">curling competitions</a> every day of the events. Curling will be included in the Olympics for the sixth time. In the men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles competitions, eleven countries will compete.
<h2>What does freeze mean in curling at Winter Olympics?</h2>
In curling, a freeze is a shot that comes to a complete halt in front of an opponent’s stone, limiting the scoring area for the opponent. In other words, it is adraw-weight shot in which the delivered stone collides with a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/how-much-does-a-curling-stone-weigh-20220205-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stationary stone</a>, making it virtually hard to remove.Ice can be hurled at the stone’s snout or one of its corners.
Curling developed in Scotland in the early 1500s on ice lochs and marshes, a tradition that is still celebrated today during bonspiels with bagpipe ceremonies (curling tournaments). Ailsa Craig, a Scottish island off the coast, provides much of the granite used in today’s curling stones.
The sport has spread to Canada, where more than a million people participate in the sport. Clubs formed in the upper Midwest states in the 1830s to play on frozen lakes and in flooded sheds. Curling became a permanent Olympic event in 1998, after making its debut in the 1924 Olympics.

The first bobsleds were built in the late nineteenth century in St. Moritz, Switzerland, by rich Victorian British tourists vacationing at Caspar Badrutt’s Palace Hotel.
Boys’ delivery sleds and toboggans were used in the early sleds. Bobsleighs, luges, and skeletons were developed from them. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-how-many-athletes-will-compete-at-the-2022-beijing-olympic-winter-games-20220123-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 Winter Olympics</a> will include four bobsleigh events, two for men and two for women, with the first race taking place on February 13, 2022, and the last race taking place on February 20, 2022.
Competitors in the men’s category will compete in two unique events: two-man bobsleigh and four-man bobsleigh.

<h2>How much does aWinter Olympicsbobsled cost?</h2>
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/what-are-the-differences-between-bobsleigh-luge-and-skeleton-20220206-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bobsleds</a> are both costly and difficult to construct. Finding a sled that is unquestionably fast is tough. Only a few firms are capable of producing competitive sleds. All of the pieces of a sled, like those of a racing vehicle, must be built and tuned quickly; in fact, a fast sled may cost considerably more than some of the greatest automobiles.
The average cost of a bobsled is around $30,000, however, the price might vary according to the size, design, and material utilized in the production process. A bobsled for the Olympics is estimated to cost roughly $50,000. Other bobsleds that aren’t utilized in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/has-jamaica-ever-won-a-medal-in-bobsledding-at-winter-olympics-20220204-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olympic competitions</a> can be significantly less expensive.
Other, non-Olympic sleds may be less expensive. If someone isjust getting started with bobsledding or looking for theirfirst one, one mightexpect to spend anywhere between $1,500 and $5,000. Helmets, goggles, and skintight racing suits made of flexible fabrics are all required during bobsledding rides. As a result, buying all of this safety equipment will take more funds.

Skii Jumping is one of the main events in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-shaun-white-how-many-winter-olympics-has-the-american-snowboarder-participated-in-20220206-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 Winter Olympics</a>, less than 20 nations compete for a gold medal and the big favorites are Japan and Austria, but other countries like Slovenia, Germany and Russia are putting up a good fight in the event.
This event is popular because of how easy it is to understand since basically what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-snowboard-schedule-how-to-watch-tv-channel-20220204-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">athletes </a>do is jump from a big ramp (hill) and travel a set distance to try to win a medal competing against other jumpers.
Male competitors have three Skii Jumping events at the 2022 Winter Olympics, while the women have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/what-country-has-hosted-the-most-winter-olympic-games-list-by-year-20220205-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only one even</a>t on February 5. It is a sport dominated by men but where women, little by little, have gained space. In addition, there is a mixed event for men and women that also offers the opportunity for other female athletes to compete.
<h2>How far do ski jumpers jump?</h2>
It depends on the hill, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-how-fast-do-olympic-alpine-skiers-go-20220208-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ski jumpers</a> can cover an average of 300 feet (91.44 meters), but another average distance is 361 feet (110 meters). The hills (ramp) are a determining factor in the distance that a ski jumper can cover, the smallest hill is 45 meters in size and the largest is 110-184 meters.
Stefan Kraft holds the current record for the longest ski jump in history at 830 feet (253 meters), but he set that record outside of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/what-are-the-differences-between-bobsleigh-luge-and-skeleton-20220206-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olympic Games </a>on a track in Norway. The first ski jump record in the history of the sport was held by Olaf Rye (Danish war hero) with 31 feets (9.5 meters).
Ski Jumpers don’t use ski poles, their skis are bigger than normal ones and their only protection in case of a fall is a small helmet that barely protects their heads. Somepro athletes have ended their careers after a fall.

The Alpine Skiing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/2022-beijing-winter-olympics-list-of-sports-20220123-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events </a>will end on February 19, 2022 with a team mixed event that combines downhill and super g, men against women.

The fastest skiers often win the races as speed is linked to their best time in the race. Athletes must take advantage of each race to offer their best performance, especially in Super G where skiers have only one opportunity to race.

Alpine Skiing events at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/winter-olympics-2022-what-is-the-k-point-in-ski-jumping-20220207-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 Winter Olympics</a> start on February 7, 2022 and end on February 19. The first Alpine Skiing event is the Men’s downhill which will take place at the Rock course located in the Yanqing District, China. The last day of the races will be a mixed team event.
For obvious reasons Alpine Skiing is one of the main sports of the Winter Olympics, but this sport was not present in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/how-often-are-the-winter-olympic-games-held-and-where-are-the-next-ones-20220206-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first games of 1924</a>, although the events have been played since 1936 without interruption.
The top 5 winning nations in Alpine Skiing at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/what-are-the-differences-between-bobsleigh-luge-and-skeleton-20220206-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winter Olympics</a> are Austria with 121 medals (37 gold, 41 silver, 43 bronze), Switzerland with 66 medals (22 gold, 22 silver, 22 bronze), United States with 47 medals (17 gold, 20 silver , 10 bronze), France 48 medals (15 gold, 16 silver, 17 bronze) and Italy with 32 medals (14 gold, 9 silver, 9 bronze).
<h2>What is the difference between Downhill and Super G?</h2>
Two very similar events but with obvious differences since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/what-country-has-hosted-the-most-winter-olympic-games-list-by-year-20220205-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Downhill</a>, as the name of the event says, has a focus on speed, skiers pass through big gates as part of the track. While in Super G (giant slalom), it is an event where the skiers focus on two things which are speed and turning, the skiers must pass through the gates/markers that are on the course as obstacles.
Other important differences between Downhill and Super G is the equipment, since both sports are quite similar but athletes use different ski poles especially in Super G for high speed turns.
On the tracks, Super G competitors cannot “test” the track, but Downhill skiers can do several track tests before the official race. Furthermore, athletes in Super G only have one chance at their best time to qualify, while in Downhill competitors can race twice.
