Tina and Milo were the winners of a public poll with more than 1,600 entries for the designs of the 2026 Milano Cortina mascots.

Tina and Milo, designed by students at the Istituto Comprensivo Taverna, won with 53 percent of votes.

Tina, the Olympic mascot, has a white coat and moved from the mountains of Italy to the city to explore new things.

Her brother Milo, the Paralympic mascot, has a brown coat and was born without a leg, but uses his tail to help him walk.

[3][4] The student designers of Tina and Milo said that stoats are symbols of innocence and purity, and that the two of them having different coat colours represents duality and diversity.
