Event Overview

The official name is the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games (25th Olympic Winter Games). The host country is Italy, and the event will take place from February 6th to 22nd, 2026, with 116 events across eight sports. The venues will be divided into four clusters, with ice and snow sports held in each region. The Paralympic Winter Games will be held from March 6th to 15th, 2026.

Venue Characteristics

Milan, the host city of the 2026 Winter Olympics, is a major city in northern Italy and is known as a center of fashion, finance, and business. At Milan-Cortina 2026, it will host the opening ceremony and be the main venue for ice sports such as ice hockey, speed skating, short track, and figure skating. Another feature of the event is that it will utilize existing facilities to create an urban spectator experience.

Meanwhile, Cortina d'Ampezzo is a mountain resort at the foot of the Dolomites, and is world-famous as a major tourist destination for skiing and other winter sports. It has hosted the Winter Olympics for the first time since 1956, and is positioned as a stage for snow sports such as alpine skiing. This will be Italy's third Winter Olympics, following 1956 and 2006, and a major feature of the event is that it will be "distributed," with venues spread across multiple cities centered around the two cities.

Emblem & Mascots

The Milano-Cortina 2026 emblem is "Futura," a design featuring the number "26" on a white background. Selected through online voting from two finalists, it is unique in that it is fully digital and adapts to different uses. White evokes snow and ice, and is also positioned as a color representing new beginnings. Red, blue, and green symbolize the colors of the Paralympic Agitos and the Aurora Borealis.

The official mascots are two friendly ermine stoats, Tina and Milo, with Tina representing the Olympics and Milo representing the Paralympics. They are brother and sister with different fur colors and are said to represent the flexibility and curiosity that has adapted to the mountain environment. Tina is creative and reliable, while Milo is mischievous and good at playing in the snow, and is sometimes depicted as having no leg and walking on his tail. Their names come from the host cities, with Milo named after Milan and Tina after Cortina.
