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.

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.
