The women's team sprint competition in cross-country skiing at the 2026 Winter Olympics will be held on 18 February, over a course at the Cross country and biathlon center Fabio Canal in Tesero. Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist of Sweden won the event. Nadja Kälin and Nadine Fähndrich of Switzerland won the silver medal, and Laura Gimmler and Coletta Rydzek of Germany won bronze. For Dahlqvist this was the first Olympic gold medal, for Kälin, Fähndrich, Gimmler, and Rydzek first Olympic medals.
Background The 2022 champions were Katharina Hennig and Victoria Carl. Henning, currently competing as Hennig Dotzler, qualified for the Olympics, but was not selected for the team sprint. Carl was provisionally suspended after failing a doping test in 2025. She has competed in the World Cup since the 2013 season. The silver medalists, Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling, qualified for the event. The bronze medalists, Yuliya Stupak and Natalya Nepryayeva, were barred from participation in all international team events after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There were only two team sprint events in the 2025–26 FIS Cross-Country World Cup before the Olympics. Dahlquist and Sundling won one, and Laura Gimmler and Coletta Rydzek another one. Sundling and Dahlquist were also the 2025 world champions in team sprint.
