Meet Milo and Tina, the 'first openly Gen Z' Olympic mascots
"Our stoats are two cheerful and easy-going teenagers, energetic, determined and strong-willed, sometimes charmingly irreverent towards adults and eager to assert their role as protagonists in the world to come,"
"I like to explore, to try new things, to change,"
"Every winter, however, nothing can keep me from returning to my beloved mountains to have fun with my brother and friends."
"It was never a big problem for me, perhaps because I was always taught that obstacles, if you take a good look at them and understand how to approach them, become super trampolines!"
"first openly Gen Z mascots."
Milo and Tina are scarf-wearing sibling stoats representing the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics. They are named for the host cities Milan (Milano) and Cortina d'Ampezzo and are presented as the first openly Gen Z mascots. Tina, the Olympics mascot, is cream-colored with a brown-tipped tail, a city-dweller who loves shows, creativity, and returns to the mountains each winter. Milo, the Paralympics mascot, is brown with a white tummy, lives in the mountains, loves jokes, snow, and inventing instruments, and was born without a paw but learned to walk using his tail. Mascots function as ambassadors welcoming athletes and spectators.
