Athlete turned food critic on TikTok, six Olympic titles for Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, dog on the track… From February 6 to 22, the 2026 Winter Olympics galvanized the public and generated, as with each edition, their share of surprises.
The Olympic Winter Games Milan-Cortina 2026 took place from 6 to 22 February 2026 in the heart of northern Italy, with a spectacular opening ceremony at the San Siro stadium in Milan and an emotional closing in the Roman arena in Verona.
Rather than in a single city, the competitions were spread over several sites between Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige, bringing together more than 3,500 athletes from 93 nations to compete in 16 Olympic sports such as biathlon, bobsleigh, ice hockey, figure skating, cross-country skiing, snowboarding or even ski-mountaineering. These Olympics have thus lit the winter spark in a unique Italian setting.
Among the commercial partners were some thirty official Italian and international sponsors who supported the organization and infrastructure of the Games.
Some notable victories
The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics were marked by XXL performances and athletes who stacked the medals.
In cross-country skiing, the Norwegian Johannes Høsflot Klæbo achieved one of the greatest exploits of these Games with six Olympic titles, dominating sprint, pursuit and relay, without giving any chance to his rivals. On the ice, the U.S. hit hard in hockey: the men’s team won gold after an overtime final against Canada, while the women’s U.S. team was also crowned Olympic champion, scoring a historic double for the country.
