Let’s go: Milano Cortina 2026

The 2026 Olympic Winter Games take place from 6 to 22 February. Approximately 2900 athletes will compete in 116 events across eight sports (16 disciplines) at 25 venues clustered around Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Livigno and several smaller Italian towns. The New Zealand Team is expected to include approximately 14 athletes in alpine, freeski and park and pipe disciplines.

From 6-15 March, the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games will take place, featuring 665 athletes competing in 79 events across six sports. Two to three New Zealand Paralympic athletes are expected to compete in Para alpine events.

HPSNZ’s world-leading Goldmine Innovation team and globally recognised experts in disciplines such as Performance Physiology, Performance & Technique Analysis, Performance Nutrition, Sports Science, Strength & Conditioning and Performance Psychology have been an integral part of New Zealand’s Olympic and Paralympic campaigns for Milano Cortina.
