The Milano Cortina Paralympic Flame Has Been Lit!

The Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Flame was created on the 24th of February in Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom, the spiritual birthplace of the Paralympic Movement.

The lighting ceremony, which was supported by Allianz, the Official Insurer of the Paralympic and Olympic Movements, marks the symbolic start of the Flame’s 11 day journey from the UK to Italy, culminating in the Opening Ceremony on 6 March at the iconic Arena di Verona.

Great Britain’s three-time Paralympian and four-time Paralympic medallist in Para alpine skiing Millie Knight, together with four-time Paralympian and vice-captain of the Italian Para ice hockey team Andrea Macrì, lit the Paralympic Flame in front of an audience of 200 invited guests. 💫
