2026 Winter Olympics Mascots

The mascots for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 have been revealed: Tina and Milo, two stoat siblings accompanied by six snowdrops known as “The Flo”. The mascots were professionally drawn based on an open contest that invited primary and secondary school students in Italy to submit ideas for the mascots. After receiving 1,600 entries, two were shortlisted for a poll, with the stoats earning the honors. (I kind of like the original drawing better than the final one). The stoats were conceived by the students of the Istituto Comprensivo of Taverna from the region of Calabria, and the snowdrops — not part of the original poll — were created by students of the Istituto Comprensivo Sabin of Segrate in Lombardia.
