Italy Collects Nine Medals Across Six Sports at Milano Cortina 2026

Italy's medal count at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics continues to grow, with the host nation securing podium finishes.

Italy's medal count at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics continues to grow, with the host nation securing podium finishes across multiple disciplines including alpine skiing, biathlon, and speed skating.

The Italian team has demonstrated strength in depth at their home Games, with medals spread across nine different events. The tally includes one gold, two silver, and six bronze medals, showcasing competitive performances rather than outright dominance in most disciplines.

Francesca Lollobrigida claimed Italy's sole gold medal so far in speed skating, providing a highlight for the host nation. The speed skating program also saw Riccardo Lorello add a bronze to Italy's collection.

Alpine Skiing Delivers Three Medals

The alpine skiing events have proven fruitful for Italy, with three athletes reaching the podium. Giovanni Franzoni earned silver, while Dominik Paris and Sofia Goggia both secured bronze medals in their respective events. The trio's performances underline Italy's traditional strength in alpine disciplines.

Goggia's bronze adds another chapter to her impressive Olympic career, while Paris continues his reputation as one of the most consistent performers in speed events on the World Cup circuit.

Biathlon Team Claims Silver

Italy's biathlon squad delivered a silver medal in the relay event, with Tommaso Giacomel, Lukas Hofer, Dorothea Wierer, and Lisa Vittozzi combining for a podium finish. The result represents a strong team performance in one of the most competitive disciplines at the Winter Games.

Wierer, a multiple World Championship medalist, brought her experience to bear in the relay, while the team's shooting accuracy and skiing speed proved sufficient to claim second place.

Medals Across the Board

Beyond the marquee sports, Italy has collected medals in snowboard, luge, and figure skating. Lorenzo Dalmasso took bronze in snowboard, while Dominik Fischnaller matched that result in the luge competition.

The figure skating events saw Italy claim bronze through the team of Nikolaj Macii, Sara Conti, Charlene Guignard, Marco Fabbri, and Luca Naki, demonstrating the breadth of Italian winter sports talent.

With competition still ongoing at Milano Cortina 2026, Italy will be looking to add to their medal haul as the Games progress. The current tally reflects solid performances across the program, with opportunities remaining in several disciplines where Italian athletes remain in contention.
