One of the most entertaining Olympic events takes place after all the medals are already handed out — the Milan Cortina 2026 figure skating gala will captivate fans Saturday.
A celebration of the Games and the top athletes' accomplishments, this year's most prominent skaters will return to the Milano Ice Skating Arena for a 2.5-hour spectacle. Rather than seeing cutthroat competition, viewers will get to experience their favorites have complete creative freedom on the ice.
The exhibition gala is a long-running tradition in professional figure skating, and is considered a great honor for all skaters involved. An invite-only event, the gala usually features medalists from all four disciplines, as well as any fan-favorite athletes from the Games.
Be sure to tune in for this one-of-a-kind event.
