The Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics are in the year of the 50th anniversary of the first ever Paralympic Winter Games, held in 1976 in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. 198 athletes, representing 16 countries, battled it out in just the two disciplines present (alpine skiing and cross-country skiing). Even in the numbers, therefore, we can read the entire road traveled by the Paralympic movement, which today arrived with Milan Cortina at the 14th edition of the Winter Paralympics.
