Milan Cortina 2026 medal table updated in real time
Milano Cortina 2026 brings together 16 disciplines and 116 competitions, spread over 19 days of what is the biggest stage in winter sports. Some 2,900 male and female athletes from more than 90 National Olympic Committees will participate.
The Milan Cortina 2026 Games embody an idea of progress and continuity, fitting into a tradition that surpasses a century of competition on ice and snow. Since their inception, winter sports have been deeply influenced by this global event. The first edition was held in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Over ten days of competition, 260 male and female athletes from 16 countries took part, competing in 16 disciplines. At the time, the event was known as the “Winter Sports Week of the 8th Olympiad,” and it was not until 1926 that it was officially recognized as the first edition of the Winter Olympic Games.
That experience marked the beginning of an international movement dedicated to winter sports and contributed to the birth of such key entities as the International Ski and Snowboard Federation and the French Ski Federation. 102 years later and after 24 editions, the Winter Olympic Games have left a lasting impression on the host cities, the billions of people who followed them around the world, and all those who had the honor of competing.
