A total of 196 athletes (103 men and 93 women) will represent Italia Team at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, which will officially get under way on the evening of Friday 6 February with the Opening Ceremony.

Following the selection of 87 athletes (47 men and 40 women) across the five ice sports announced a week ago, a further 109 athletes (56 men and 53 women) from 11 winter disciplines have now been confirmed. Competitions will take place in Anterselva (biathlon), Cortina (bobsleigh, skeleton, luge and women’s alpine skiing), Val di Fiemme (Nordic combined, cross-country skiing and ski jumping), Livigno (freestyle skiing and snowboarding) and Bormio (men’s alpine skiing and ski mountaineering).

This figure surpasses Italy’s previous home-Games record set at Turin 2006 (184 athletes: 109 men and 75 women). It also marks an all-time high for female participation, with women accounting for 47.4% of the delegation — the highest percentage ever, compared with 40.8% at Turin 2006, 39.5% at Beijing 2022, 39.3% at PyeongChang 2018 and 38.9% at Sochi 2014. It is a record within a record, as it also represents the largest delegation ever fielded by each federation.

The youngest member of the Italian team is Giada D’Antonio, a 16-year-old alpine skiing prospect who will turn 17 on 28 May. The most experienced athlete is Roland Fischnaller, aged 45, who will compete in the men’s parallel giant slalom (PGS) in alpine snowboarding and make his seventh consecutive Olympic appearance, the highest number ever achieved by an Italian athlete at the Winter Games.

Only four Italians have more Olympic appearances overall: brothers Piero and Raimondo d’Inzeo (equestrian, 1948–1976), Josefa Idem (canoe sprint, 1984–2012), and Giovanni Pellielo (shooting, 1992–2016, 2024).
