VERONA, Italy — The Milan Cortina Olympics ended Sunday as the twin flames in co-host cities Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo were extinguished during a closing ceremony inside the ancient Verona Arena, roughly mid-distance between the far-flung mountain, valley and city venues that made these the most spread-out Winter Games ever.
In declaring the 2026 Games over, International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry told local organizers that they "delivered a new kind of winter Games and you set a new, very high standard for the future."

Olympics close out Milan Cortina Games with Major Lazer, opera and anthems – The Athletic
VERONA, Italy — About 2,000 years ago, the Romans built the Arena di Verona to host gladiator games. After weathering an earthquake in 1117, a stint as a quarry and hundreds of years of operas and concerts, the venue played host to the Olympic closing ceremony on Sunday, after two weeks of competition and 116 sets of medals given out across 16 sports.
The event offered a bit of everything. For fans of high art and deep symbolism: iconic opera characters, elaborate costumes, opera singing, acrobatics, dance. For fans of history: stone arches all around, dating back to the first century AD. For fans of pyrotechnics: Fire.
