The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics wrapped up this week with fireworks, tears, and a record-breaking chapter for China! 🌟 Athletes from 86 countries and regions competed in events spanning snowy peaks to ice rinks, with Norway clinching the top medal spot (no surprise there 🇳🇴), while China delivered its best-ever overseas Winter Games performance! 🚀
Host nation Italy flexed its winter sports muscles too, bagging 30 medals—their highest tally ever—as crowds sang ‘Bella Ciao’ in the 2,000-year-old Verona Arena during the closing ceremony. Talk about vibes! 🎭✨
China’s 126-athlete squad smashed expectations: 5 golds, 4 silvers, and 6 bronzes—matching their entire Beijing 2022 medal count! From daring ski jumps to lightning-speed short track skaters, Team China proved they’re a force on global ice. ❄️🇨🇳
Newcomer sport ski mountaineering stole hearts, blending endurance and alpine thrills. Meanwhile, the Games’ ‘geographically dispersed’ format—with events split between Milan and Cortina—kept fans glued to their screens worldwide. 📱🌍
