**LOVE IS IN THE AIR AT THE MILANO CORTINA 2026 WINTER GAMES**
**This Valentine’s Day, the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games are celebrating more than medals**
Milano, 14 February 2026 – This Valentine’s Day, the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games are celebrating more than medals.
Across competitions, love stories are unfolding alongside elite performances. From power couples representing different nations, to teammates sharing both medals and milestones, romance is very much part of the Olympic atmosphere.
**Sweet Moments Across the Games**
Love was impossible to miss at the Winter Games, making its first appearance during the Opening Ceremony, when Tim Dieck and Sara Conti, representing different countries, shared a heartfelt hug: a moment proving that love can glow just as brightly as Olympic medals.
The romantic energy continued throughout the Games when Breezy Johnson and Connor Watkins delighted fans with a heartfelt proposal that brought pure joy to the slopes. While, in the Milano Olympic Village, Jake Paul surprised his girlfriend Jutta Leerdam right after she won her gold medal, a sweet reminder that even amid the intensity of the Games, human connection shines brightest.
**Olympic Pride**
Love and pride take many forms at the Winter Games. In women’s ice hockey, Ronja Savolainen of Finland and Anna Kjellbin of Sweden compete for rival nations, showing that romance and rivalry can collide gracefully on Olympic ice.
Skeleton athletes Kim Meylemans and Nicole Silveira, competing under different flags while sharing accommodation in Cortina, are the ambassadors for Pride House in Milan. They embody the Games’ commitment to inclusion, representation, and the powerful bonds that transcend borders and competition.
**Valentine’s Day in the Olympic Villages**
Across the Olympic Villages, Valentine’s Day festivities added a playful, sweet touch.
In Predazzo, breakfast at the Village featured charming decorations, while tonight’s menu will include a special Valentine’s Day risotto.
Anterselva-Antholz Olympic Village has been adorned with heart-shaped table decorations, chocolates, and roses.
In Milano Olympic Village, Alibaba is distributing specially designed Valentine’s Day pins to athletes and delegations, adding a keepsake touch to the celebrations. Meanwhile, the Resident Centre in the Cortina Olympic Village is sprinkled with festive decorations, anonymous love notes, and playful “Will you be my Valentine?” cakes, inviting everyone to join in a little sweethearted proposal of the day.
From thoughtful treats to charming surprises and heart-shaped pizza, these touches promise to spark connections and perhaps even a few new love stories.
