Portland skier Jackie Wiles competed in her third event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, placing 13th in the women’s Super‑G on February 12 at the Olimpia delle Tofane course. According to U.S. Ski & Snowboard, Wiles led the American contingent with that result, while teammate Keely Cashman followed in 15th place. The event unfolded under challenging conditions, with over a third of the field failing to finish, including fellow U.S. skiers Breezy Johnson and Mary Bocock.
The Super‑G podium saw Italy’s Federica Brignone seize gold in front of the home crowd, clocking a winning time of 1:23.41. France’s Romane Miradoli earned silver, and Austria’s Cornelia Hütter took bronze, each achieving their first Olympic medals in the discipline. Wiles, by contrast, finished behind the leaders by approximately two seconds, a respectable gap given the course’s difficulty and the number of non‑finishers.
Earlier in the Games, Wiles teamed with Paula Moltzan in the inaugural women’s Alpine team combined event, securing a bronze medal—her first Olympic podium. That result followed closely on the heels of her fourth‑place finish in the individual downhill, where she narrowly missed a podium spot by under a second.
Wiles’s strong performances in both the combined event and Super‑G mark a compelling Olympic debut in multiple disciplines, underscoring her resilience and breadth as an alpine athlete.
Why this matters:
Jackie Wiles’s results reflect the strength and depth of American alpine skiing beyond marquee names. Her podium in the team combined and solid Super‑G performance contribute to Team USA’s overall medal tally and underscore the value of versatile athletes in Olympic competition.
With the Olympics concluding soon, Wiles’s showing adds meaningful momentum both for her individual career and for her local supporters in the Pacific Northwest.
