Just People, the soul of Tina and Milo at the Milano Cortina 2026 Games

The official mascots of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Tina and Milo, came to life thanks to Just People, the agency that handled the animation and management of the costumes, turning them into true ambassadors of the Olympic spirit.

From their debut on the Sanremo stage two years ago to the Alpine slopes and the venues of the Milan Games, Tina and Milo have accompanied events and shows across Italy and abroad, becoming the emotional face of the Games and bringing young and old closer to the Olympic universe.

Two years of work, marked by passion and care for people, made it possible to give soul and movement to these iconic mascots thanks to 80 young people directly involved in the animation. Turning these young people into the beating heart of Tina and Milo was an important mission: not just animating a costume, but conveying values, emotions and fun to everyone they meet.

The adventure of Tina and Milo has seen over 400 events, more than 1,800 days on air, 75 cities visited in Italy and abroad, including London, Berlin, Brussels, Lausanne and Paris, all 20 Italian regions reached and more than 100,000 km travelled, telling the Olympic spirit with energy and enthusiasm everywhere.

"We always put people at the centre of what we do," says Antonio Ferrara, CEO of Just People, "and having had the honour of bringing Tina and Milo to life was a privilege for us. The mascots are today the emotional face of the Games and carry forward values of energy, curiosity and passion that represent Italy."
