The men’s parallel giant slalom featured a deep field headed by Austria’s [Benjamin Karl], the defending champion, Slovenia’s Tim Mastnak, the 2022 silver medalist, the 2025 World Champion Tervel Zamfirov of Bulgaria, and 45-year-old Italian Roland Fischnaller, competing in his seventh Olympic Games, and for the second time on the Olympic stage in his home country.

Karl advanced through to the semi-final round, but not after a scare in the eighth-finals where he barely edged out Italian Maurizio Bormolini by 0.03 seconds. Along with Zamfirov and Mastnak, South Korea’s Kim Sang-Gyeom also progressed through the two preceding runs, over Fischnaller and Žan Košir. Karl would eventually emerge victorious over Kim in the big final to successfully defend his Olympic title, while Zamfirov took the bronze, which was Bulgaria’s first Winter Olympic medal in 20 years.
