Italy finishes the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics with a record-breaking 10 gold medals and 30 podium finishes overall. This unprecedented outcome surpasses the previous record established in Lillehammer and represents the first occasion in which the Italian team has achieved double-digit victories at a Winter Olympics. This was a huge reversal from Sochi 2014, which concluded without a gold medal, and reaffirms the home team's ability to win in ten different sports. Francesca Lollobrigida began the gold medal table by winning the 3,000-meter speed skating event on her 35th birthday. The Italian went on to claim gold in the 5,000-meter event, becoming the third Italian to ever win two individual titles in the same event, following Alberto Tomba and Manuela Di Centa. Arianna Fontana also made a significant contribution, winning gold in the mixed short track relay with Confortola, Betti, Sighel, Nadalini, and Spechenhauser following a tactically faultless run. A historic double in luge: first, Andrea Vötter and Marion Oberhofer won the women's doubles, then Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldner unexpectedly won the men's doubles, symbolizing the growth of the Italian movement. Federica Brignone dominated alpine skiing, capturing two gold medals in the super-G and giant slalom. Brignone won the contests about a year after suffering a severe knee injury, making her the oldest Olympic victor in women's alpine skiing history. The biathlon with Lisa Vittozzi was also historic, as she won gold in the 10km pursuit, the first Italian Olympic gold medal in the discipline, thanks to a flawless shooting performance. In speed skating, Davide Ghiotto, Michele Malfatti, and Andrea Giovannini won the team pursuit, beating the Netherlands and the United States. Simone Deromedis rounded out the gold medal winners in ski cross, which also included Federico Tomasoni. Ten gold medals distributed across renowned and developing sports and generations gave Milan-Cortina the impression of a competitive, diverse, and successful Italy: the home Games became a record-breaking event.
