Milano Cortina 2026 – gold, silver and bronze medals. Speaking about the medal design, Raffaella Paniè, the Milano Cortina 2026 Director of Brand, Identity and Look of the Games, said : “We conceived a medal that represents purity and a return to essentials. With our medals, we celebrate the strength found in difference: two unique halves that join through the Olympic and Paralympic symbols to deliver a bold and unified message. This concept is also reflected in the surfaces of the medals, where two textures meet and begin a story written not only by the athletes and Para athletes, but also by those who supported them : coaches, team-mates, family members and fans.” The Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato used recycled metal recovered from its own production waste to make the medals, which were cast in induction furnaces powered entirely by renewable energy.
