The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games are shinning bright after the Olympic and Paralympic organizing committees unveiled the medal design for the Games.
The simplicity of the design is centered in symbolism, portraying the collision of two worlds—Paralympic and Olympic—coming together. The medal signifies a world where competition doesn’t divide, but rather unites.
The medals are made by the Istituo Poligratico e Zecca dello Strato (IPZS), a company owned by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance. IPZS relied on renewable energy to craft the medals, which have a recyclable protective finish.
