Italy was the host nation of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, from 6 to 22 February 2026.
Italy ended the 2026 Winter Olympics by winning 10 gold, 6 silver and 14 bronze medals, setting a new record in number of medals won (20 medals was the previous record, reached in Lillehammer 1994). This new record comes 5 years after the new record in summer olympics set in Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics (that were held in 2021) and equalled in Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Moreover Italy won more gold and bronze medals than in any other winter Olympics (the previous records being 7 and 8, respectively).
On 18 February, short-track speed skater Arianna Fontana won her third medal at these Olympics and her fourteenth overall, becoming Italy's record medal-winning athlete of all time (previous record was held by Italian fencer Edoardo Mangiarotti, with 13 medals).
