For Makayla Gerken Schofield, the Olympics have always been a family affair.
The moguls skier made her Olympic debut alongside her older sister Leonie at Beijing 2022, with their brother Thomas also having competed internationally in the sport.
But her second stab at the Games at Milano Cortina 2026 brings new challenges. Both of her siblings are now retired and she will be the lone Gerken Schofield in the Olympic Village.
It's something she has had to learn to deal with over recent seasons, which she admits has been tough.
"I've had to adapt to it, I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy," she said. "The fact that it was my brother and my sister and us three siblings touring the world together, that's super cool and I'm super grateful that I actually got to do that and have that.
"But although they have retired, I still have their support, and I mean I'm lucky enough to be able to just text them or call them and they're kind of there."
Not just 'kind of there' at Milano Cortina 2026, Gerken Schofield will not be entirely alone as her family have swapped the skis for supporter flags in Livigno and made the trek to cheer her on.
And despite the struggles of learning how to ski solo, Gerken Schofield knows that that it has only helped her improve as an athlete.
"The fact that they'll be there in the bottom and I can like just go for them and have a hug means the world," she added.
"I think in some ways it has been personal growth as well, like learning how to be more alone in some ways.
"Obviously you've got teammates, but it's not the same as like having siblings there.
"So, I have grown in that sense of kind of having to adapt by myself and figuring out like a different routine as well. But yeah, definitely growing."
Gerken Schofield will take to the slopes on Tuesday 10 February for the women's moguls’ qualification in Livigno.
She made history at Beijing 2022 with Team GB's best ever finish in the event, with eighth place.
She will now hope to improve on that after a difficult few seasons that saw her come back from injury and navigate life on the slopes alone.
But as long as she keeps her nerves under wraps, Gerken Schofield is ready to make history once more.
"It's been a bit up and down in the sense of when I think about result and I obviously want to improve from the one I did last time," she said.
"It makes me feel a bit sick because I don't know what to expect.
"And then the upside of it is that I just want to go into these Games as a new experience because everything's kind of going to be new for me as well because it's not the same vibe as it was going to be.
"If I manage to control my nerves and take it as a positive and take the energy of the crowd, then it's always a big help."
