CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — There’s something about the 2026 Olympics course in Cortina that brings the best out of American skier Jacqueline Wiles. Ten years ago, Wiles scored her first World Cup points at the Italian resort with a 15th in a downhill. “I’ve always loved Cortina,” Wiles said. A week after her 2018 result, Wiles crashed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and missed nearly two full years with serious injuries to her left leg. Wright returned to the finish area in time to celebrate Wiles’ result.
