Meet the athlete couples competing at Milano Cortina

For millions of couples around the world, Valentine’s Day can go a variety of ways: dinner out at a favourite restaurant, a home-cooked meal, a cozy movie night, or simply a few thoughtful gestures to remind each other they care.

But if you’re a Winter Olympian competing at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 taking place in Italy, many of those options are likely off the table. Not unless your partner is also competing at the Games.

In that case, Valentine’s might look a little different, but certainly no less special. 

With 14 February falling on a Saturday, let’s introduce you to some of the cutest couples competing side by side at Milano Cortina.
