Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics 2026 Conclude
What Happened
The 14th Winter Paralympic Games concluded on March 15, 2026, in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. China finished at the top of the medal tally with 44 medals, followed by the USA and Russia. The event was marked by a seven-nation boycott of the opening ceremony due to the inclusion of athletes from Russia and Belarus.
Why It Matters
India's lack of medals highlights the significant gap in infrastructure and participation for winter para-sports compared to summer disciplines.
