🇮🇹❄️ LOOK OF THE GAMES UNVEILED | MILANO CORTINA 2026 PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES

Milano Cortina 2026 has unveiled the “Look of the Games,” showcasing the brand
and design elements that embody the visual identity of the Paralympic and
Olympic Winter Games. Inspired by the new “Italian Spirit,” the design draws
inspiration from Italy’s rich culture and values. This influence has crafted an
iconic and dynamic graphic language intended to capture the hearts and unite
audiences, creating a unique and memorable experience during the Games. The Look
of the Games is not just a design concept, but it is the visual identity that
characterises each edition of the Games. It reflects the soul, heritage and
cultural artistry of the host nation. The Look of the Games will be showcased
across venues and slopes, in the host cities. It will be that unmistakable image
recognised by billions of viewers on their screens, felt by fans on the slopes
and in the arenas, and accompanying the media in telling the stories of the
great achievements of the top athletes in winter sports.

ABOUT THE PARALYMPIC GAMES

The Paralympic Games are the largest global sporting event for athletes with
disabilities and have taken place every four years since the inaugural edition
in Rome, Italy, in 1960. In 1976, the first Winter Games were held in
Ornskoldsvik, Sweden and featured 198 athletes from 16 countries.

Following the 1988 Games in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and the Winter Games in
Albertville, France in 1992, the Paralympic and Olympic Games have been held in
the same city. The next Paralympic Games will be held in Paris in 2024, followed
by LA28 and Brisbane 2032. The next winter edition is Milano Cortina 2026.

sport to advance the lives of the 1.2 billion individuals with disabilities
across the globe.

PARALYMPICS HISTORY

Sport for athletes with an impairment has existed for more than 100 years. It
was not until after World War II, however, that it was widely introduced. The
purpose of it at that time was to assist the large number of war veterans and
civilians who had been injured during wartime.

On 29 July 1948, the day of the Opening Ceremony of the London 1948 Olympic
Games, Dr. Ludwig Guttmann organised a competition for wheelchair athletes at
the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Great Britain. Sixteen injured servicemen and
women took part in archery at the inaugural Stoke Mandeville Games, which later
became the Paralympic Games.

WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION?

Classification is the cornerstone of the Paralympic Movement; it determines
which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how athletes are grouped
together for competition. In Para sports, athletes are grouped by the degree of
activity limitation resulting from the impairment. This, to a certain extent, is
similar to grouping athletes by age, gender or weight.

Classification aims to minimise the impact of the impairment on athletes'
performance so that the sporting excellence determines which athlete or team is
ultimately victorious. Ensuring that athletes are classified prior to competing
is crucial to safeguarding the integrity and credibility of the competition.
