Italy’s Winter Games

With the 2026 Winter Games in full swing, Paul Carter is on a mission to uncover the technology underpinning the entire event.

Set in the cultural heart of Milan, we explore how innovation is impacting the athletes, competitions and venues - and the legacy that will live on long after the medals are won.

From Olympic illuminations to a design showcase at the historic Triennale and the pioneers of the Milano Innovation District, we dive into a living exhibition of sport, style and technology.

With exclusive access to the International Broadcast Centre, we uncover how athletes are pushing their limits using data, analytics and cutting-edge performance tech - while AI and cloud systems transform how billions experience the action worldwide.

And in Switzerland, we venture inside Omega’s Olympic time-keeping lab to see computer-vision judging in action, precision tech at the bobsleigh finish line, and test the sound-emitting rifles used by blind athletes in the Para Biathlon.

And we hit the slopes to meet the next generation of ski jumpers using body-tracking tech as they take flight.

Join us for a story of innovation, ambition and human achievement - set against the dramatic winter backdrop of Milano Cortina.
