Milano Cortina 2026: Tina e Milo, mascotte ufficiali delle Olimpiadi e Paralimpiadi

Cute little Tina and Milo, the new mascots chosen for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics and Paralympics, have already made their debut on stage at the Ariston Theatre.

We already love Tina and Milo, the new mascots chosen for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics and Paralympics. They are named after the cities hosting the Olympic and Paralympic events: Tina (Cortina) and Milo (Milan).

Invented by two imaginative children

Two things have always accompanied the Olympics and Paralympics: the love of the public … and mascots! This is why the Organising Committee decided to let the people choose the characters.

Tina and Milo were invented by two imaginative children at Taverna primary school in Catanzaro, who drew the original versions of the two characters. The “invent-a-mascot” competition was incredibly successful with entries from more than 1,600 students all over Italy. 

Tina loves the mountains, while Milo likes to push limits.

In her white coast, Tina is the mascot for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Born in the mountains, she also loves the city. Milo is the Paralympic mascot. He was born missing a leg, but this has never stopped him from overcoming every obstacle, helped by a strong will and… his tail!

From birth to their first Sanremo.

To be famous—really famous—you need to have been on stage in Sanremo at least once. Tina and Milo have already achieved this fame as they were officially presented for the first time at the Ariston Theatre in February, by master of ceremonies, Amadeus.

There are also six snowdrops … we kid you not!

The two mascots have a lot to do. Milo and Tina will travel the globe promoting the huge event that is Milano Cortina 2026. To help them, they have the Flo, six small snowdrops, their faithful travel companions and assistants. Like Tina and Milo, the Flo were also created in a school, again the fruit of imagination of students, this time at Sabin primary school in Segrate, Milan.
