After just over two weeks, 116 medal events across 16 disciplines and 8 sports, Milano Cortina 2026 - the 25th edition of the Olympic Winter Games, reaches its climax on Sunday night.

The action concludes with four finals: Bobsleigh, Cross-country skiing, Women’s Curling and fittingly, the men’s Ice Hockey gold medal game between Team USA and Canada.

After that, the curtain will come down on Milano Cortina 2026 with all competing athletes congregating at the historic, 2,000-year-old amphitheater Verona Arena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for the Closing Ceremony.
