U.S. Freestyle Skiing Favorite Withdraws From 2026 Winter Olympics with Injury
Dehlinger re-injured his knee during training and withdrew from the 2026 Winter Olympics after consulting doctors to avoid further damage.
- On Feb. 18, Quinn Dehlinger, a 23‑year‑old U.S. freestyle aerial skier, announced he will not compete at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics after re‑aggravating a knee injury while training in Livigno.
- Since that injury, in late January, Dehlinger had been rehabbing to get back in shape for the Olympics, after injuring his right knee at Lake Placid, according to his team.
- Dehlinger previously underwent ACL surgery on his left knee in 2024 and returned to strong results, owning three career World Cup victories and 2023 World Championships medals.
- After consulting medical advisers, Dehlinger opted not to compete this year, removing a U.S. medal favorite and ending the Olympic hopes of a Cincinnati native for Team USA.
- With Dehlinger out, he says his focus shifts toward 2030 while teammates like Connor Curran, Sharonville native, continue to compete Thursday.
