Google Celebrates Closing of Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics with Doodle
On Sunday, February 22, 2026, Google marked the final day of competition at the Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina with a special Doodle titled “Celebrating Winter Sports 2026.”
A Tribute to the Italian Summits
Following two weeks of athletic achievements across Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, and Valtellina, the commemorative logo concludes a series of daily Doodles that accompanied the event since February 4th.
Doodle Design
The Doodle’s visual design echoes the “Spirit of the Slopes” aesthetic, featuring key disciplines like figure skating, ski jumping, curling, and alpine skiing integrated into the Google logo, appearing sculpted in snow and ice.
Accessing Olympic Information
Clicking on the Doodle directs users to the final medal table, the latest results from closing events, and highlights from the 2026 Olympics.
The Role of AI at the Games
This edition of the Winter Olympics will be remembered for the prominent role of artificial intelligence in monitoring events, a feature Google highlighted throughout the fortnight with its “AI Mode.”
Looking Ahead
As the Olympic flame concludes in Italy and prepares to be passed on to the next host, the Doodle serves as a reminder of the spirit of sportsmanship and personal achievement.
