Approximately 2,900 athletes from around the world have gathered in Milan to compete for medals across 16 sports. So far, fans have been able to witness tense matches in figure skating, Alpine skiing, curling<\/a>, ice hockey, speedskating, biathlon, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, ski jumping and Zamboni ghost riding<\/a> with Snoop Dogg<\/a> at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. As of Day 6, Italy leads the total medal count with 17 (6 Gold), closely followed by Norway (7 Gold, 14 Total) and the United States (4 Gold, 14 Total).<\/p>\n \n\tThanks to the time-zone difference between Milan, Italy, and the U.S., expect most live events to happen early in the morning.
