Notes

Milano Cortina 2026, torch prototype. The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic torches were unveiled on 14 April 2025. Named “Essential”, they both feature reflective, iridescent finish but are different colours. The Olympic torch has blue-green hues, while the Paralympic torch is bronze. Sustainability is an important part of the design, and each torch can be used up to 10 times, considerably reducing the number of torches needed for the relay. In addition, the fuel is biopropane, made from renewable feedstocks. Donated by the OCOG
