China & WorldChina Tops Winter Paralympics Medal Table for Second Straight Games in Milan-Cortina
China topped the medal table at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympic Games with 15 gold medals and 44 total medals, extending its dominant performance from the 2022 Beijing Games.
The 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympic Games was held in Italy from March 6 to 15, with 665 athletes participating in 79 events. At the Games' closing, the Chinese delegation topped the medal table with 15 gold medals and 44 total medals, showing clear advantage over second-place United States.
This is China's second topping of the medal table following the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, marking the effectiveness of the state's systematic investment in disabled sports programs. Analysts noted that China's rise in Paralympic events and the advancing sports powerhouse strategy are inseparably linked through large-scale training system investment.
This edition featured six major sports disciplines, covering Para alpine skiing, Para biathlon, Para cross-country skiing, Para ice hockey, Para snowboard, and wheelchair curling. In individual events, US athlete Oksana Masters claimed three gold medals in cross-country skiing as a standout performer. The US team defeated Canada 6-2 in the Para ice hockey final, adding another important highlight for their delegation.
The successful hosting of these Games further elevated international community attention toward disabled athletes' spirit of tenacity and drove all countries to increase resource investment in disabled sports.
