Milano and Cortina 2026 Unveils Mascots Milo and Tina 

The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will take place in the Italian cities of Milano and Cortina in 2026. On 7th February 2024, the mascots for this event were announced- two stoat siblings named Milo and Tina. 

What are Stoats? They are little animals belonging to the weasel family. Stoats are known for their tiny bodies, short legs, and long, bushy tails. This type of animal is mainly found in North America. 

Tina is the official mascot of the Olympic Winter Games 2026, and Milo is the mascot for the Paralympic Winter Games 2026. They are named after the cities where the events will take place. So, Tina is short for Cortina, and Milo is short for Milano. 

According to the official website of the Olympics, Tina is creative and she loves to go see shows and concerts. She uses the phrase “Dream big.” Milo, on the other hand, is a goofy dreamer who loves joking around, playing in the snow and inventing new musical instruments. Even though he was born without a paw, he taught himself to walk by using his tail. He uses the phrase “Obstacles are trampolines.”

In the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Milan and Cortina, the duo of Milo and Tina will be joined by six little snowdrops. They have been named the ‘Flo,’ and they will help Milo and Tina to highlight this event’s fun and joy.
