Introducing TODAY’s "The Road to Milan"
The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics are fast approaching, and TODAY’s The Road to Milan spotlights the athletes pushing themselves to the highest level of sport. Hosted by TODAY’s Craig Melvin, the series follows competitors at every stage of their Olympic journey, from seasoned veterans chasing another Games to first-time Olympians stepping onto the world stage. One of those athletes is Erin Jackson, one of the fastest speed skaters in the world, whose unlikely path to the sport led to historic success. Jackson sits down with NBC News correspondent Stephanie Gosk to talk about constant improvement, embracing her role as a model for the next generation, and what it will mean to compete in front of a full Olympic crowd as the world watches.
