🇱🇺 Athletes to Watch
While the full list of flag bearers is often a surprise until the ceremony, keep an eye out for the Luxembourgish delegation during the Parade of Nations. Under the Italian alphabet, they will march as Lussemburgo. Look for local favorites in Alpine Skiing who have been training hard for the Cortina slopes!
The Milano Cortina 2026 Games are the most geographically dispersed in Olympic history, spanning over 22,000 square kilometers across Northern Italy. To make it easier to follow, the venues are organized into four main clusters, plus the city of Verona.
Here is the breakdown of the locations and what sports they are hosting:
1. Milano Cluster (The City)
Focuses primarily on ice sports and the main ceremonial events.
- San Siro Stadium: Today’s Opening Ceremony.
- Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena: Men’s Ice Hockey.
- Rho Fiera Milano: Speed Skating and Ice Hockey.
- Milano Ice Skating Arena (Mediolanum Forum): Figure Skating and Short Track Speed Skating.

The “Queen of the Dolomites” returns as an Olympic host 70 years after the 1956 Games.
- Olimpia delle Tofane: Women’s Alpine Skiing.
- Cortina Sliding Centre: Bobsleigh, Skeleton, and Luge.
- Stadio Olimpico del Ghiaccio: Curling.
- Antholz/Anterselva: Biathlon (located slightly outside the main Cortina hub).
3. Valtellina Cluster (The Alps)
Located near the Swiss border, this area handles the high-adrenaline mountain events.
- Bormio (Stelvio Piste): Men’s Alpine Skiing and the Olympic debut of Ski Mountaineering.
- Livigno: Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding.
4. Val di Fiemme Cluster (Trentino)
The historic home of Nordic disciplines.

- Tesero: Cross-Country Skiing.
🏛️ Special Venue: Verona
While Milan hosts the start, Verona will host the finish.
- Verona Arena: This ancient Roman amphitheater will host the Closing Ceremony on February 22.
Fun Fact: Because the venues are so far apart, there isn’t just one Olympic Village. There are actually six different villages to ensure athletes stay close to their specific competition sites.
Team Lëtzebuerg is represented at the Milano Cortina 2026 Games by a small but highly competitive delegation focused entirely on Alpine Skiing.
The delegation consists of two athletes and 12 support staff (coaches, technicians, and medical team), making a total of 14 people.
🇱🇺 The Athletes & Their Events
The two skiers representing the Grand Duchy are both competing in the Slalom and Giant Slalom disciplines.

| Matthieu Osch | Male | Giant Slalom | Bormio (Stelvio) | Feb 14 |
| Matthieu Osch | Male | Slalom | Bormio (Stelvio) | Feb 16 |
| Gwyneth Ten Raa | Female | Slalom | Cortina (Tofane) | Feb 15 |
| Gwyneth Ten Raa | Female | Giant Slalom | Cortina (Tofane) | Feb 18 |
🚩 Flag Bearer & Ceremony
Matthieu Osch was chosen as the flag bearer for tonight’s Opening Ceremony in Milan. This is a historic moment for him as he is competing in his third Winter Olympics (after PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022).
🎿 Key Locations for Luxembourg
Because the athletes are competing in different clusters, the Luxembourgish delegation is actually split across two mountain locations:
- Bormio (Valtellina Cluster): Where Matthieu Osch will compete on the legendary Stelvio piste.
- Cortina d’Ampezzo (Cortina Cluster): Where Gwyneth Ten Raa will compete on the Olimpia delle Tofane.
Note: Grand Duke Henri is also in Italy to support the team. He attended the IOC session in Milan earlier this week and will be present at the San Siro for the Opening Ceremony tonight!
