XXV Winter Games 2026 Milano Cortina Torches and Medals

"Dematerialising the torch while focusing on the flame.

Delivering a contemporary interpretation of the Olympic and Paralympic flame as the true soul of the Games, we aim to enhance its presence by reducing the visual and physical impact of the torch itself. This is achieved by introducing a larger flame while minimising the formal, visual, and material prominence of the torch body."

"A dynamic graphic abstraction showing the union of two parts in constant motion, highlighted by the contrast between a granular texture and a mirrored surface. The design stays pure and simple — using only the essential lines to express the ideas of union and movement. The medal’s energy comes from this division, representing ongoing change. These elements are brought together by the Olympic and Paralympic values, turning contrast into unity and motion into meaning."
