Designed by the Italian State Mint and Polygraphic Institute (IPZS), the medals incorporate recycled metal and renewable energy, aligning with sustainability goals. Olympic athletes Federica Pellegrini and Francesca Porcellato presented the medals in a ceremony on the Canal Grande in Venice. The medals feature two halves to represent both Olympic and Paralympic values, celebrating unity and excellence in sports. Each medal is a symbol of Italian mastery and innovation, with Paolo Perrone, President of IPZS, highlighting its significance in both design and emotion. The 2026 Winter Olympics will run from February 6-22, followed by the Paralympic Games from March 6-15, marking the return of the Games to Europe after 8 years. Ski mountaineering, a new event where athletes combine skiing and mountaineering techniques, will make its Olympic debut in Bormio, Italy. Italy has previously hosted Winter Olympics in Cortina (1956) and Turin (2006), but the 2026 Games will be the first held in Milan. The unveiling of the medals reflects a deep commitment to sustainability and the celebration of the athletes’ achievements at the upcoming Winter Games.
