There are nearly 50 out athletes competing at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, and after the first weekend of events, several have already won medals.
Queer athletes come to the Olympics this year from countries like the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Finland, Sweden, Brazil, Belgium, Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and are competing in sports as varied as speed skating and hockey to skiing, figure skating, and skeleton.
As the Games continue from February 6 to February 22, Out will update this list with all the queer medalists.
