Record-breaking Sunday for Italy at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. At 10:19 p.m. Italy won its fifth bronze medal of an extraordinary day for the Italian sport, thanks to the figure skating team. In the men’s singles Matteo Rizzo overcame Georgian Nika Egadze, securing third place. For the Azzurro, making his debut in this Olympics in place of Daniel Grassl, open applause: a solid and clean performance, unlike that of Egadze, who ran into two decisive errors.

The scene fills with colors transforming into a mosaic of images of Made in Italy.

A parade of Italian symbols is born: inventions, cuisine, architecture, fashion, design and entertainment.

In the background resonates "Frizzi, lazzi e paparazzi", seven-minute composition on Italian culture.

Irony of fate: De Angelis mistaken for popstar started career just as a singer.

Before cinema she sang in Rumba de Bodas, a band outside the mainstream but decisive for the formation.

Mariah Carey as a singer has sold a few more records than the 'doppelganger'.

It is a bronze with great symbolic value for the Italian movement, which before today had won only two Olympic medals in the history of figure skating: both bronze, with Fusar Poli-Margaglio in Salt Lake City 2002 and with Carolina Kostner in Sochi 2014. The stars were Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri in dance, Sara Conti and Niccolò Macii in pairs, Lara Naki Gutmann in women’s singles, and Daniel Grassl and Matteo Rizzo in men’s singles.

From Friday, Italy remained steadily in the medal race, thanks to third places by Gutmann and Conti-Macii, accompanied by fifth places by Guignard-Fabbri and Grassl. Yesterday came the breakthrough: fifth place for Grassl, second for Guignard-Fabbri. Today’s close with second place for Conti-Macii and fourth for Gutmann. At the Assago Forum, a real stadium cheer was heard in the last seconds of Rizzo’s performance, with the chorus “Italy, Italy” started from the blue bench led by Barbara Fusar Poli.

Rizzo, overwhelmed by emotion at the end of the game, let himself slip on the ice and then jumped under the Azzurra curve for a hug from his teammates.
