Ski jumper Noriaki Kasai (JPN) and speed skater Claudia Pechstein (GER) competed in a record 8️⃣ Olympic Winter Games. At Milano Cortina, ski jumper Simon Ammann could have equalled the record, but the 44-year-old was left out of the Swiss team. #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics

Marit Bjørgen, Ole Einar Bjørndalen and Bjørn Dæhlie (all Norwegians) are the most successful athletes at the Olympic Winter Games with 8 gold medals each. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (currently on 5 golds) is eyeing that record. #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics

Norway (2014-2022) can become the first NOC to top the medal table at four consecutive Olympic Winter Games. Norway (1936-1948-1952) and Soviet Union (1956 to 1964 and 1972 to 1980) already set streaks of three. #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics

Milano Cortina 2026 will be the 3️⃣rd Olympic Winter Games held in Italy, after Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956 and Turin 2006. Only United States (4) and France (3) have hosted as many Winter Games. #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics
