Italy took top honors in men's ski cross at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with Simone Deromedis claiming gold and Federico Tomasoni taking silver on home turf. The duo's impressive performance was a thrill for the Italian crowd, who cheered them on as they sprinted to the finish line.
Heavy snowfall made conditions tough, limiting visibility and slowing down skiers on the challenging course in Livigno. Alex Fiva of Switzerland, who won silver four years ago, had to dig deep to secure bronze in his toughest race ever.
The Italian crowd went wild as Simone Deromedis and Federico Tomasoni crossed the finish line, securing gold and silver medals in men's ski cross at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. The two athletes collapsed onto the snow, exhausted but overjoyed.
At the medal ceremony, Deromedis beamed with pride as he hugged his teammate Tomasoni on the podium. Tomasoni, meanwhile, kissed his silver medal and gazed upwards, dedicating his achievement to his late girlfriend, Alpine skier Matilde Lorenzi.
The atmosphere was electric as the skiers and crowd sang the national anthem, celebrating Italy's historic 1-2 finish in men's ski cross at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. Simone Deromedis and Federico Tomasoni's thrilling win had the crowd on their feet, waving Italian flags.
Ski cross is an adrenaline-fueled sport where four riders speed down a 1.5 km course filled with bumps, jumps, and turns. It's notoriously unpredictable, with competitors often colliding and crashing, making every race a heart-stopper.
